Damietta is a deep-water Mediterranean port on Egypt’s north coast, 60 km west of Port Said — near the Canal’s northern approaches — and 200 km east of Alexandria, about 7 km west of the Nile’s Damietta branch.[1]
—Grain is a signature trade: the port’s public silos plus a new 70,000-tonne ten-cell silo under Egypt’s national silos project; grain berths connect silos directly to discharge systems.[6]
—New capacity, as of February 2026: Damietta Alliance Container Terminal (Hapag-Lloyd/Eurogate/Contship) began commercial operations — 1,670 m quay dredged to 18 m, planned final capacity 3.3 million TEU, roughly 80% transshipment.[7,8]
—The SEGAS LNG liquefaction plant (5 mtpa; Eni/EGAS/EGPC) ships from Damietta, having restarted exports in 2021.[9]
—Approach from the north-west across a marked channel; the navigational passage is maintained at 16 m (14.5 m safe navigational depth), with a 15 m turning basin. Container, ro-ro and grain vessels over 250 m LOA are accepted at 13.25–14 m draft.

Post the requirement — MARPOL waste landing by category and volume, priced and documented against the call — with the vessel's ETA and payment terms, and it prices it sealed. You compare the bid line by line; the supplier never sees the vessel's name until you award.
