A roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) cargo link between Egypt and Italy is gaining traction as companies look to reroute trade flows amid disruption to key shipping channels in the region.
The service connects Egypt’s Damietta port on the Mediterranean with the Italian port of Trieste, with shipments then transported across Egypt to Safaga on the Red Sea before continuing by sea to Gulf markets including the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar.
