New Europe–Egypt–Gulf Multimodal Corridor Launches via NEOM in April 2026

 NEOM Port, Pan Marine, and DFDS launched a multimodal freight corridor connecting Europe to the Gulf via Egypt, operational from 14 April 2026. The route runs from Europe to Damietta via DFDS RoRo, then by RoPax ferry from Safaga to NEOM in 7 hours, before onward road distribution to UAE, Kuwait, Oman, and Iraq. During the pilot phase, transit times were cut by more than half compared to conventional routing. Active origins include Italy, UK, Germany, and Poland.
