Lines look at Sokhna alternatives
Cairo: In a sign of the growing unrest and uncertainty surrounding the Egyptian Red Sea port of Sokhna Singapore container line PIL has taken the decision to reroute all ships away from there to the port of Dijbouti. Sokhna, where DP World is the container terminal operator, has been plagued by strikes and worker disputes regularly this year. Other shipping lines are also believed to be mulling alternative Red Sea options. [27/05/13]
