About Port Said
Port Said sits at the Mediterranean mouth of the Suez Canal, which means an enormous number of vessels pass it regardless of whether they call. Its East Port Said terminal is largely a transshipment facility serving the eastern Mediterranean. Sailing frequency here is excellent, but much of the cargo landing is bound elsewhere.

Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 12–17 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage.
