Commercial Role
Why Safaga Matters
Safaga is a major Red Sea port serving dry bulk, mineral, passenger and ro-ro traffic. Max Marine coordinates vessel attendance, cargo documentation and husbandry through its central operations desk and the required local service providers.
Attendance can include port authority liaison, cargo documentation, customs follow-up, husbandry, stores and crew movement through Hurghada or Cairo. Calls forming part of a wider Red Sea or canal itinerary can be coordinated within the same operating plan.
