A compelling evolution unfolds as, Transmar, the region’s premier container shipping line, unveiled a groundbreaking service. This initiative orchestrates impeccable connectivity between Egyptian exporters stationed at Adabiya Port, Egypt, and the strategic ports of Aden and Hodeida in Yemen. Primarily focused on transporting refrigerated and dry cargo, this novel venture pledges to amplify efficiency and reliability in the intricate logistics networks interlinking these indispensable trading hubs.
The service underscores Transmar’s resolute dedication to delivering germane, bespoke logistics solutions in the Red Sea region. Capitalizing on its formidable dedicated fleet – the most substantial between the Red Sea and the Arabian Gulf – Transmar’s coverage now extends to all principal Red Sea ports. From Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Djibouti to Yemen, the company is poised to streamline commercial exchanges across this vibrant area.
Explicit emphasis on perishable cargo allows the service to convey a wide spectrum of reefer cargo, inclusive of fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and pharmaceuticals. Transmar pledges to safeguard the integrity and punctual delivery of cargo by deploying its advanced reefer containers, fortified by real-time cargo tracking and a diligent customer support team. Crucially, this service is expected to play a cardinal role in combating the pressing food insecurity challenges in Yemen.
Ahmed El Ahwal, Transmar’s General Manager, shared, “We are proud to extend assistance to Egypt’s agricultural, food manufacturing and pharmaceutical sectors by expanding our refrigerated cargo service connecting Egypt to KSA, UAE and now Yemen. We have witnessed a rise in Egyptian agri-food exports over the past period and are looking forward to supporting Egyptian exporters in opening new markets with neighbouring countries.”
The choice to anchor operations at the Adabiya Port on Egypt’s East Coast equips Egyptian exporters with a slew of benefits, catalyzing their entry into the Yemeni market and other east-bound destinations. Additionally, it paves the way for Egyptian exporters to secure footholds in untapped global markets, thereby augmenting their competitive advantage through robust connectivity and proficient supply chain solutions. This strategic maneuver aligns flawlessly with Egypt’s ambitious export growth blueprint and is expected to be a catalyst in escalating foreign currency influx into the country.
