Your Trusted Ship Agent — All Egyptian Ports
Port Agency Services Egypt from Marine Trust cover commercial ports, offshore petroleum terminals, LNG facilities, and Suez Canal-linked operations — from nomination to FDA close-out. A port call in Egypt has moving parts that do not wait for each other; pre-arrival coordination is the difference between a clean call and demurrage.

We handle the full range — from a Panamax bulk carrier discharging fertiliser at El-Dekheila to a crude tanker on SBM approach at Marsa El Hamra. Each vessel type has its own pre-arrival requirements, authority notifications, and berth constraints.
Tanker port agency Egypt work is half our operational load — crude, product, chemical, LNG/LPG, and offshore SBM calls. Our Managing Director spent 13 years as Marine Operations Manager and Head of Pilots at Marsa El Hamra under EGPC, with direct command of tanker arrivals, SBM mooring sequences, and WEPCO documentation.
We also handle tanker port agency as a dedicated service line for petroleum terminal nominations. Quantity and quality risk on fuel stems is covered through our bunker supervision services. For Marsa El Hamra SBM specifically, see our Marsa El Hamra ship agent page.
Port charges in Egypt are not fixed. Vessel operators who treat Egyptian port costs as stable year-on-year figures are often working from the wrong numbers.
Law 24/1983 governs port authority operations across Egypt — the scope of port services, licensed ship agent obligations, and the relationship between vessel principals and port authorities. Marine Trust is fully licensed under this law, ISO 9001-certified, and registered at all major Egyptian ports.
Decree 488/2015 sets pilotage tariffs at EMTA commercial ports with a mandatory 5% annual increase from the 2015 base. When we calculate pilotage for a PDA Egypt estimate, we apply the current compounded rate for the specific port and vessel GRT.
Decree 800/2016 introduced a charge on discharged cargo — the agency licence utilisation fee — levied per metric tonne at EMTA ports, escalating 3% per year from the 2016 base. We name it explicitly on every disbursement account.
Offshore terminals such as Marsa El Hamra SBM operate under the Ministry of Petroleum through EGPC and WEPCO — not EMTA decrees. Canal-linked calls also follow procedures published by the Suez Canal Authority. PDA calculations for petroleum terminal calls require the correct petroleum sector tariff basis.
The Proforma Disbursement Account is what voyage departments, charterers, and owners use to budget port costs before arrival. An inaccurate proforma disbursement account Egypt submission creates disputes when the FDA lands and the numbers do not match.
Every Marine Trust PDA is prepared on company letterhead with a full itemised breakdown. Every charge is named and referenced to its regulatory basis — Decree 488/2015 pilotage, Decree 800/2016 cargo fee, and the correct framework for petroleum terminal calls. No bundled line items. When operations close, we reconcile every actual charge against the PDA and issue the FDA with full supporting documentation.
