Bunkering at Alexandria

The Port of Alexandria is Egypt's largest and most historic port, handling around two-thirds of Egyptian foreign trade. Together with nearby El Dekheila port, it forms a complex serving container, bulk, oil and general cargo. Bunker supply is available for vessels calling for cargo or as a Mediterranean re-bunker stop.
