THE BEGINNING…
It all started in 1976 with the advent of Egypt’s “Era of Openness” as it is called; the era when trade boomed
in Egypt and investments in infrastructure projects underwent unprecedented and explosive growth, financed
by funds and loans from Europe and the US under the country’s Open door Policy. Projects in heavy industries, ranging from telecommunications to waste water, electrical power, cement, oil and gas and
petrochemicals multiplied, creating new market demands and presenting a golden business opportunity for transport and logistics companies of all types.
Keeping in line with its mission and reputation as a pioneer in the transport and logistics industry in Egypt,
EGYTRANS took the lead in serving this new market by establishing a department that specializes in
projects handling in 1980. From the start, the mission of the department was to bring the latest in engineering theory and practice to the logistics process.
The specialized projects handling department evolved since its inception to provide many services, enlarging
EGYTRANS’ business services scope to include conducting route surveys to determine the optimum
transportation routes and methods as well as logistical studies, transportation planning and technical design.
The first project handled was the Abu Sultan Power station which was carried out in cooperation with General
Electric of USA. Afterwards, the specialized projects’ handling team at EGYTRANS carried out the handling of
incoming cargo for the Water Treatment Stations in collaboration with Torin Corporation. Success in these
projects established EGYTRANS as a major projects logistics supplier in Egypt and attracted many clients.
LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIPS WITH CUSTOMERS Because in EGYTRANS, the customer always comes first and the aim is not just to meet but to exceed
customer needs and expectations, EGYTRANS’s customers always come back, and repeat business from
long-term customers is the norm and ultimate goal in EGYTRANS. Examples are:
1. Hitachi Transport: For more than ten years, EGYTRANS has been the main logistics service provider for
Hitachi Transport in Egypt. The collaboration started with the Oyoun Moussa power station project and then expanded to include the Cairo West, Cairo North, Kuraimat and Ain Al-Sokhna power stations and the Maadi
pumping station.
2. Mitsubishi Corporation: The collaboration started in 2004 with the Cairo Metro 2nd phase, then the
Alexandria compost project and afterwards El Atf and Sidi Krir power plants.
STAFF DEVELOPMENT The project department started with 2 specialists but has now grown to include new talents, emphasizing teamwork for attaining the highest standards of professionalism and efficiency in project execution. Today,
the EGYTRANS Projects Department is structured as follows:

BUSINESS PARTNERS ABNORMAL LOAD ENGINEERING
To uphold its standards of excellence, EGYTRANS always chooses to partner with companies who are also
leaders in their fields. This is why it selected ALE in 1995, one of the largest specialized heavy lift transport
companies in the world. ALE has a long and extensive experience of more than 25 years in abnormal load handling. The partnership started with the transport of heavy cargo, mainly equipment, for the Sidi Krir
Polyethylene Plant in Amreya, Alexandria. Since then ALE has provided EGYTRANS with specialized
equipment that would help it handle cargo that weighed hundreds of tons: for example, the Girder which is used to carry heavy units with small volume to spread the weight on a wider transport area, and also the
special Gantry Cranes for temporary storage and installation on foundations. There is also the Nicholas
Hydraulic Low-bed which EGYTRANS uses for the transport of cargo weighing 300 tons and above.
ETAL
Another company born in the wake of the vast expansion in infrastructural investments and projects in Egypt is the Egyptian Transportation and Logistics Company ETAL which was established in 1984 by a consortium
joining EGYTRANS and a group of companies and local businessmen with long experience in the transport
industry. However, due to a conflict in strategies, EGYTRANS exited the consortium and sold its shares in
the early 90’s.
The main goal of the company from the start was the transport of cargo of exceptional weight and dimension. As a result, ETAL gradually accumulated considerable knowledge and expertise in this field and
became the market leader.
Owning a range of heavy transport equipment unmatched by any other heavy lift mover in Egypt, ETAL grew
and developed to be the only company that could cater to hauling heavy and oversized cargo for the projects
industry in Egypt. Therefore, to better position itself in the heavy cargo transport market, EGYTRANS
acquired ETAL in 1998, becoming the sole owner of the company.
After the acquisition, EGYTRANS carried out the renovation and development of all of ETAL’s transport
equipment and implemented the highest operational health and safety standards in all of its operations.

HISTORY OF PROJECTS Since the acquisition, EGYTRANS and its sister company ETAL, have both become ISO 9001, 14001 and
18001 certified and participated in the transport of more than 70 projects in various fields, the most
important of which are:
1982 SHOUBRA POWER STATION
EGYTRANS was nominated by Toshiba Corporation of Japan to deliver a total of nearly 20,000 FRT including
a 230 ton transformer to the station’s jobsite. This project introduced heavy haulage into the list of
EGYTRANS’s services. It also identified EGYTRANS as an expert in multimodal transport of heavy packages
as the transformer was first carried by ship up to Alexandria port then loaded onto a barge and delivered to the jobsite in Shoubra.
1986 EGYPTIAN PETROCHEMICALS COMPANY
Toyo Engineering Corporation of Japan was the nominated supplier for the Egyptian petrochemical plant in
Amreya, Alexandria, and thus appointed EGYTRANS to perform the local services for a total of 60,000 FRT.
Handling the heavy packages for this project required a study of the possible routes from Alexandria port to the project’s site in Amreya and incorporated the assistance of a qualified consultant in route reclamation and
civil works. Such studies were introduced by EGYTRANS and allowed the successful delivery of these
packages in compliance with the highest safety measures.
1988-1989 DAMANHOUR POWER STATION
Babcock-Wilcox of Canada, Sadelmi and GIE Ansaldo of Italy assigned the handling of this project’s cargo
which consisted of 35,000 FRT to EGYTRANS including heavy packages ranging from 70 to 210 tons in
weight from Alexandria port to the power station’s jobsite.
1990-1991 ASSIUT TRANSFORMER SUBSTATION
EGYTRANS was nominated by Mitsubishi Corporation of Japan to transport numerous heavy transformers
weighing up to 215 tons arriving at Alexandria Port. A floating crane was used to unload the transformers from the vessels onto barges which carried the transformers up to Assiut Jetty and were then loaded onto
low-bed trailers and delivered to the project site. Special Gantry Cranes were used to unload the units at the
Assiut Jetty from the barges and onto the trailers.

1996- 1998 SIDI KRIR PETROCHEMICALS COMPANY SIDPEC PLANTS
Due to the successful completion of the Egyptian Petrochemical Company plant, EGYTRANS was also
appointed by the same supplier to handle the transport of two petrochemical plants in Sidi Krir (ethylene
plant and polyethylene plant). These two projects demanded the use of highly specialized transport
equipment due to the abnormal dimensions and weights of the arriving cargo; thus, EGYTRANS required the
cooperation of ALE to supply the needed equipment.
HISTORY OF PROJECTS
WE MAKE INTEGRATED TRANSPORT EASY, SAFE & COST-EFFECTIVE (EGY-F-G010( Page 5
This project marked EGYTRANS as a professional player in the heavy haulage industry as it incorporated the
delivery of the largest package ever to arrive to Egyptian ports, a fractionator with dimensions of 86m in
length, 5m in width and 5m in height, and a weight of 250 tons from Dekheila port up to the project’s jobsite. In addition, a 275 ton boiler and packages with abnormal dimensions of up to 9.8m in height and a total of
50,000 FRT were also delivered safely to the jobsite.

1996 -2001 CAIRO WASTE WATER PROJECT
EGYTRANS was assigned by local and international suppliers Misr Concrete J.V. of Egypt, Cogelec of UK,
Kier International of UK, Herbert Jones and Fru-Con Construction of USA to handle their supplies for establishing the Cairo Waste Water project phases from year 1996 to 2001. A total of 100,000 FRT of cargo
with abnormal packages were safely delivered by EGYTRANS from Alexandria port to the jobsite.
1999 OYOUN MOUSA SUBSTATION
Marubeni Corporation of Japan nominated EGYTRANS to transport approximately 20,000 FRT of cargo which
included 2 heavy transformers each weighing 260 tons and having dimensions of 7.8m in length, 3.7m in
width and 6.3m in height to the project’s jobsite in Sinai.

2002– 2004 LNG DAMIETTA
This was the first LNG natural gas liquefaction plant in Damietta and the largest in Egypt, owned and operated by the Spanish Egyptian Company (SEGAS).The construction of the plant, located North West of the
port of Damietta on the Mediterranean, began in September 2001 and was completed at the end of October
2004. This project was a challenge for EGYTRANS as it contained unprecedented volumes of cargo
simultaneously arriving to Damietta port. Assigned by MW Kellogg of UK, EGYTRANS had to coordinate and
handle approximately 3 chartered vessels per week with a total of 160,000 FRT during the project which included numerous heavy packages weighing up to 240 tons a package.

2004 - 2005 NUBARIYA POWER STATION
At the end of 2004, EGYTRANS was nominated by Siemens of Germany to handle the local logistics of
supplies arriving for the Nubariya Power Station. EGYTRANS successfully delivered large volumes of cargo
including 4 turbines (305 tons each) and 4 generators (300 tons each) to the project’s jobsite. Such haulage
required highly specialized studies to widen existing roads on the route and build new roads as a by-pass to overcome waterways and weak bridges along the way.

2005 CAIRO NORTH POWER STATION
At the beginning of 2005, General Electric collaborated with EGYTRANS to deliver 18,000 FRT of cargo
which included 2 turbines 280 tons each, 2 generators 220 tons each and a boiler of 230 tons to the jobsite.
The route studies prepared by EGYTRANS demanded the repair and strengthening of 21 bridges along the
route from the port to the site.
HISTORY OF PROJECTS
WE MAKE INTEGRATED TRANSPORT EASY, SAFE & COST-EFFECTIVE (EGY-F-G010( Page 14
Due to the heavy weight of the turbines and the capacity limitation of roads and bridges, EGYTRANS
requested ALE to supply the Girder for the safe haulage of the heavy packages, and this was the first time
such highly sophisticated transport equipment was used in Egypt.

WE MAKE INTEGRATED TRANSPORT EASY, SAFE & COST-EFFECTIVE (EGY-F-G010( Page 16
Such packages required EGYTRANS to carry out route surveys and reclamation works to the roads and
bridges along the route from Damietta port to the site to overcome the abnormal dimensions and weights of
the cargo. An example of such works was digging 1 m under two bridges, Sherbeen Bridge and Farskor bridge.

Reinforcing four bridges; Tabiya, Maadiya, Mahmoudia and Saafan bridges, along the route using the state of the art Bridges Isolation technique, never before applied in Egypt, was the biggest challenge for the two
projects. The bridges were isolated with the use of barges equipped with hydraulic jacking systems to pass
on the weight of the heavy packages from the bridges to the water, reducing their deflection to the minimum of 3 mms. Before effecting the transportation, 2 dynamic tests were made to insure the safety of the
operation.
