FOB Ain Sokhna — Red Sea / Gulf gateway
FOB Ain Sokhna loading. UN/LOCODE EGSOK. Red Sea side of Suez, ideal for Gulf / S. Asia / E. Africa routes. Bulk, gas, container, petrochemical.
UN/LOCODE: EGSOK · Region: Red Sea / Gulf of Suez · Operator: Sokhna Port (DP World concession) + adjacent SCZONE
Ain Sokhna sits 45 km south of the southern entry of the Suez Canal, making it the natural loading port for any cargo destined for Red Sea, Gulf, South Asia, or East Africa markets — voyage avoids the Suez Canal toll and saves 1-2 days vs Mediterranean POLs.
- Jeddah, Saudi Arabia — 2-3 days
- Mumbai / JNPT — 9-12 days
- Dubai / Jebel Ali — 5-6 days
- Mombasa, Kenya — 10-14 days
- Singapore — 15-18 days
- Colombo, Sri Lanka — 11-14 days
- Karachi, Pakistan — 8-10 days
For any destination east of Suez, Sokhna saves 1-2 days of voyage time and the Suez Canal transit cost — typically around USD 200-400k for a Supramax bulker. We routinely route cement, fertilizers, and phosphate cargo to E. Africa / S. Asia from Sokhna for that reason alone.
