Bahri Logistics adds Alexandria as port call

Bahri Logistics, a business unit of the National Shipping Company of Saudi Arabia (Bahri), has added Alexandria to its portfolio of ports in Egypt.

The move will allow Bahri to offer breakbulk and roll-on/roll-off (ro/ro) transportation services on its North American itinerary – from US ports to Alexandria and from Alexandria to the Middle East and India, the company said in a statement.

“Alexandria is our third direct port call in Egypt after Suez and Port Said,” Ahmed Al-Ghaith, president of Bahri Logistics, said in the statement.

“This will also result in enhanced transit times and better service coverage,” he added.

Alexandria will be serviced by Bahri Logistics’ fleet of multi-purpose vessels on a regular liner schedule – four of which connect the US to Saudi Arabia and major ports in the Gulf, the Indian subcontinent and the Mediterranean.

The other two connect Europe to Saudi Arabia, key Gulf ports and the Mediterranean, the statement said.
