“The new tunnel, built to internationally recognised security standards, provides a fast connection to the highly populated districts in the Nile Delta and key industrial zones in Greater Cairo, also making SCCT a cost-effective option for import and export customers,” Lars Vang Christensen, CEO of SCCT, stated.
Each of the four lanes in the 2.8 km-long tunnel are 3.75 m wide and it has a height restriction of 4.6 m making it suitable for all types of dry and reefer containers, standard and high-cube containers.
