UN/LOCODE EGSKR · Egypt

Sidi Kirir Port Introduction

Sidi Kirir, also written Sidi Kerir, is an offshore crude-oil tanker terminal on Egypt’s Mediterranean coast, approximately 27 km west of Alexandria. It is the Mediterranean terminal of the Suez-Mediterranean (SUMED) pipeline system and is designed around offshore single-buoy mooring facilities, loading equipment and associated storage tanks rather than a conventional container-port operating model. The supplied port record identifies six offshore SBM tanker berths, a handling profile of approximately 460 vessels and 60 million tonnes annually, and vessels up to about 400,000 DWT. Our service team treats EGSKR primarily as a project, energy and tanker-logistics location: cargo acceptance, berth nomination, marine conditions, pipeline coordination and terminal approval must be confirmed before any booking or inland plan is issued.

Port code	EGSKR; the supplied record also references EGSKT in the terminal description
Location	Sidi Kirir, Egypt · approximately 29.6223200° E, 31.0966700° N
Port type	Offshore SBM tanker terminal and Mediterranean pipeline interface
Primary logistics role	Crude-oil transfer, storage and SUMED pipeline connectivity

Key Highlights

Offshore tanker operationSix SBM berths and marine loading facilities make this a tanker-focused terminal, not a standard box or general-cargo gateway.

Deep-water capabilityThe supplied record states a minimum water depth of 25.9 m and maximum acceptable draught of 22.9 m at the large buoys, subject to confirmation for the nominated vessel and operating conditions.

Very large vessel profileVessels of approximately 400,000 DWT are identified in the port data; acceptance remains subject to terminal, marine and cargo approval.

Pipeline-linked routingThe terminal forms the Mediterranean end of the SUMED system, whose remote control is stated in the supplied record to be from Ain Sukhna on the Red Sea.

Limited container relevanceThe base record shows FCL, LCL and automotive service counts as zero. Container cargo should therefore be routed through a separately validated Egyptian container gateway.

Facilities & Services

Offshore mooring: Six offshore single-buoy mooring tanker berths with associated loading facilities are identified in the supplied terminal description.
Storage interface: Storage tanks are part of the described terminal system; tank allocation, product compatibility and available capacity must be confirmed for each movement.
Large-buoy parameters: The supplied record gives a 25.9 m minimum water depth, 22.9 m maximum acceptable draught, 410 m mooring-area radius and 1,220 m manoeuvring-area radius.
Small-buoy parameters: The supplied record gives an 18.2 m minimum water depth, 16.4 m maximum acceptable draught, 320 m mooring-area radius and 915 m manoeuvring-area radius.
Pipeline connectivity: The terminal is linked with the SUMED pipeline system. This is a bulk-energy transfer function and should not be interpreted as a container, LCL, vehicle or general breakbulk service.
Land-side support: Our service team can coordinate documentation, surveyors, vessel agents and inland arrangements, but truck access, cargo release and terminal-side handling must be approved case by case.

Routes & Logistics Timing

Mediterranean–Red Sea connection: EGSKR is relevant to cargo flows using the SUMED corridor between the Mediterranean side and Ain Sukhna on the Red Sea side. The exact transfer plan depends on product, nomination and pipeline instructions.
Vessel positioning: Tanker arrival timing is affected by berth nomination, pilotage and mooring arrangements, vessel particulars, weather, sea conditions, cargo readiness and terminal acceptance.
Trade-lane planning: For containerised or general cargo, our team will normally assess an alternative Egyptian container or multipurpose gateway rather than assume EGSKR acceptance.
Transit-time discipline: No fixed transit or berth-window promise should be issued until the terminal, vessel agent, cargo interests and relevant authorities confirm the operating schedule.

Hinterland & Key Cargo

Primary hinterland functionThe terminal serves Egypt’s Mediterranean energy logistics chain and the SUMED pipeline interface rather than a broad consumer-goods distribution hinterland.

Typical cargo profileCrude oil and related bulk petroleum movements are the principal cargo context indicated by the terminal’s tanker and pipeline configuration.

Storage-linked movementsTank transfers, shore-to-ship or ship-to-shore operations and pipeline nominations may involve controlled product routing and tank compatibility checks.

Container and vehicle cargoThe supplied base data records zero FCL, LCL and automotive service counts; such cargo should not be booked to EGSKR without written acceptance.

Operations & Compliance

Pre-arrival approval: Obtain terminal and vessel-agent acceptance before confirming the port in a sale contract or shipping instruction. Provide vessel IMO number, DWT, LOA, beam, draught, cargo specification, quantity and mooring requirements.
Dangerous goods and oil documentation: Treat petroleum cargo as regulated dangerous goods. Product classification, SDS, cargo declaration, ship/shore checklist, pollution-prevention documents and emergency contacts must be aligned with the terminal and applicable Egyptian requirements.
Notice and cut-off control: Offshore tanker operations do not follow a conventional container CY cut-off. ETA, NOR, cargo readiness, documents and nomination deadlines are controlled by the terminal, vessel agent and cargo programme; obtain the written operational window.
Marine and weather risk: Draught, mooring radius and manoeuvring limits are planning references only. Final limits may change with vessel condition, sea state, tide, daylight, pilotage and terminal instructions.
Customs and inland delivery: Do not assume ordinary truck delivery, port gate collection or container customs procedures apply. Our team will separate cargo release, pipeline transfer, shore storage and any inland movement into individually approved workstreams.

Shipping Tips from Our Service Team

Send the complete vessel and cargo profile at the quotation stage, including nominated product, quantity, density, flash point where applicable, temperature requirements, draught and intended operation.
Use a contract clause that makes the nominated berth, terminal approval, marine restrictions, weather delays and pipeline instructions subject to confirmation by the relevant operator and authorities.
Keep cargo, vessel, terminal, customs and pollution-control documents consistent. Differences in quantity, product description, consignee, origin or destination can delay approval and release.
For FCL, LCL, vehicles or ordinary project cargo, ask our team to compare a validated alternative gateway near Alexandria or another suitable Egyptian port before issuing shipping instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can EGSKR handle standard container shipments?: The supplied record shows zero FCL and LCL service counts. EGSKR is described as an offshore tanker and pipeline terminal, so our team will not assume container acceptance. We will verify the cargo with the terminal or recommend a suitable container gateway.
Is Sidi Kirir the same location as Sidi Kerir?: Yes. “Sidi Kerir” is an alternative spelling used in the supplied terminal description. The requested UN/LOCODE for this page is EGSKR, and all booking references should be checked against the carrier or terminal’s accepted code list.
What vessel size can be considered?: The supplied record identifies a largest vessel handled of approximately 400,000 DWT and gives separate large- and small-buoy parameters. Actual acceptance depends on the nominated vessel, draught, cargo, marine conditions and written terminal confirmation.
Does a normal container cut-off apply?: Not necessarily. This is an offshore tanker operation. ETA, readiness, nomination, documentation and ship/shore coordination deadlines should be obtained from the vessel agent and terminal rather than inferred from a container schedule.
How can our team arrange an EGSKR shipment?: Provide the vessel particulars, cargo and product documents, quantity, intended operation, consignee, timing and inland requirements. Our service team will first validate terminal acceptance, marine feasibility, compliance documentation and the appropriate routing structure.

Data Sources & Provenance

Port identity, UN/LOCODE, spelling, coordinates, location, terminal function, berth description, vessel profile and stated marine parameters on this page are based on the supplied EGSKR port record. Figures such as approximately 460 vessels annually, 60 million tonnes annually and approximately 400,000 DWT are reproduced as supplied and should be revalidated before contractual use.

The SUMED system’s operator-level reference point is sumed.org. The domain is provided for independent operator-side verification; terminal acceptance, current restrictions, cargo programmes, berth windows and operational instructions remain subject to direct confirmation.

Verification boundary: This page does not create a booking, guarantee berth availability, certify vessel acceptance, confirm customs treatment, establish current tariffs or provide a fixed transit time. Our service team will obtain current instructions from the terminal, vessel agent, carrier and competent authorities before execution.
