Port Detail
Suez Canal entry
Port Said is the Mediterranean entrance to the Suez Canal, with the corresponding southern entrance at Suez. Vessels often bunker either here or at Suez before/after Canal transit.
East Port Said container hub
SCCT operates one of the Mediterranean's largest container terminals at East Port Said, handling ULCV class with deepwater berths. Bunker barge logistics scaled accordingly.
Red Sea routing context
Vessels transiting Suez should monitor current Red Sea security advisories. We coordinate bunker call timing with vessel masters and operators.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I bunker before or after Suez Canal?
Both work. Northbound vessels often bunker at Port Said before entering the Mediterranean; southbound vessels may prefer to bunker after transit at Djibouti or Jeddah area depending on routing.
Are Suez Canal dues separate from bunker?
Yes — Suez Canal Authority charges are vessel-specific transit dues, separate from bunker fuel cost. We can provide guidance on coordinating canal transit with bunker call timing.
