Export Record — 93 Salt Shipments, 527,000 MT Since 2015
Egypt Globe Group has shipped 93 bulk salt cargoes, about 527,000 tonnes, from Egyptian ports since 2015 — with the chartered vessels listed by year.
A shipped record, not a capability statement
Most export pages describe what a supplier could do. This one sets out what has actually loaded and sailed. Between July 2015 and March 2026 Egypt Globe Group shipped 93 export cargoes totalling about 527,000 tonnes of Egyptian salt from Egyptian ports, carried by 51 chartered vessels.
The figures below are reconciled against three independent sources: the bills of lading, the customs export register, and the commercial invoice series. Where the three disagreed, the bill of lading governed. Discharge ports, buyer names and commercial terms are deliberately not published.
| Year | Shipments | Tonnes |
|---|---|---|
| 2015 | 4 | 24,350 |
| 2016 | 6 | 30,328 |
| 2017 | 6 | 37,000 |
| 2018 | 15 | 92,920 |
| 2019 | 8 | 47,050 |
| 2020 | 4 | 25,450 |
| 2021 | 7 | 41,950 |
| 2022 | 4 | 25,500 |
| 2023 | 8 | 37,487 |
| 2024 | 11 | 44,402 |
| 2025 | 12 | 64,661 |
| 2026 (to March) | 8 | 56,300 |
| Total | 93 | ~527,000 |
Two patterns matter to a buyer. The first is continuity: eleven consecutive years with cargo on the water, through the 2020 contraction and the freight disruption that followed. The second is cadence: 2025 was the busiest year on record by shipment count, and the first quarter of 2026 alone moved 56,300 tonnes across eight vessels — a run rate above any prior full year except 2018.
What ships
The bulk programme is Egyptian salt for road de-icing, declared under HS 2501, drawn from two origins the group controls: sea salt from the North Sinai coast and rock salt from Siwa and the Qattara Depression. Rock salt is guaranteed at a minimum 97.00 % NaCl. Alongside the bulk cargoes, washed, milled and packed grades ship in containers for food, chemical and specialty buyers.
| Parameter | Range across the shipped record |
|---|---|
| Bulk parcel size | 4,350 – 9,650 MT per vessel |
| Typical recent parcel | 5,000 – 8,000 MT, Handysize |
| Container cargoes | Washed, milled and packed grades, from 20 MT |
| Product | Bulk de-icing / road salt, HS 2501; washed and milled grades in containers |
| Origins | North Sinai sea salt; Siwa and Qattara rock salt |
| Loading | Egyptian Mediterranean and Red Sea ports |
Grade, NaCl content, moisture and grain size are fixed per contract against the applicable standard — EN 16811-1 for EU de-icing tenders, ASTM D632 with AASHTO M-143 for North America, BS 3247:2011 for the UK, SS-EN 16811-1 for the Nordics and GOST 13830 for the CIS. The de-icing catalogue lists the SKUs those tenders are quoted against.

How each cargo was certified
The record above is a tonnage history. What makes it a quality record is the gate every one of those cargoes passed:
| Gate | Control | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Source | Mine and saltworks laboratories assay each production lot before release | Source lab report |
| Processing | Washing, kiln-drying, screening and any anti-caking dosing re-checked on the processed lot | Plant QC record |
| Port laboratory | Composite sample per the ISO / ASTM sampling plan; full parameter set of the contract standard | Per-lot Certificate of Analysis, issued before the Bill of Lading |
| Independent inspection | Sampling during loading, draft survey, witness testing, sealed retained samples | TÜV Austria / SGS / Intertek / Bureau Veritas certificate |
| Contract | Specification guaranteed at the port of loading and binding under the sales contract | Sales contract, B/L, marine insurance |
A lot outside the contractual specification is rejected at the loading port — never re-graded into a lower class or renegotiated. Third-party analysis certificates issued against individual bills of lading form part of the shipment file. The full protocol is on inspection & quality control and quality & compliance.
