EWA Group said it has successfully delivered an 8.2-meter-high storage tank from Alexandria to Cairo, describing it as the first component with such dimensions ever transported along that route in Egypt.
The operation deployed a multimodal route combining sea, river and overland transport to overcome logistical challenges including low bridges and high-voltage cable restrictions. EWA said its technical team charted a custom route that eliminated the need for civil works, marking a first in the country for such a move.
The move began with the booking of a specialized barge at the Port of Alexandria. From there, the tank traveled along the River Nile before being double handled onto land for the final stretch to Cairo.
“EWA’s team remains the only one in Egypt to deliver a cargo of this height all the way from Alexandria to Cairo, reaffirming our position as a leader in specialized project logistics for the oil and gas sector,” the company told Breakbulk.
“This achievement reflects our ongoing commitment to delivering smart, efficient, and innovative logistics solutions tailored to the most demanding projects. A sincere thank you to our dedicated team and trusted partners who made this success possible.”
EWA Group will be exhibiting at Breakbulk Europe on 13-15 May in Rotterdam. Meet the team at Stand 2E21.
