Full containers, in and out of Egypt, on schedule.

Sea freight is the backbone of Egyptian trade, and FCL — full container load — is how serious volume moves. PNM Egypt books, documents and manages complete containers (20', 40', 40'HC, reefer and special equipment) for import into and export out of Egypt through Alexandria, Damietta, Port Said, Sokhna and Adabiya.

We negotiate rates and free time with the carriers on your lane, watch cut-offs and rollings, and keep your documents — commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificates of origin — aligned with what Egyptian customs actually expects, so the box does not sit at the terminal burning demurrage.

For imports, the file starts before the container does. Egypt requires an ACID number — issued through the Nafeza single-window platform — before the goods ship, and the number must appear on the commercial invoice and bill of lading. We obtain the ACID against your importer registration, brief your supplier on what Nafeza expects from their side, and check the draft documents against the filing before the vessel sails — because a mismatch discovered at Alexandria costs days, while a mismatch caught at origin costs minutes.

Port choice is a cost decision, not a habit. Alexandria and El Dekheila take the bulk of general cargo and suit Delta and Cairo consignees; Damietta is strong on the East Mediterranean; Port Said serves the Asia strings that transship there; Sokhna, on the Red Sea, is often the smarter gate for Gulf and Asia cargo bound for Cairo and Upper Egypt. We route by lane, carrier free time and your delivery point — and for reefer, open-top and flat-rack moves we arrange plugs, permits and lifting before booking, not at the terminal gate.
