Representing over 2,700 transits and port calls annually, we have a proven record of providing world class service and assisting with rebate claims.
Service capabilities:

On behalf of the our team, we want to express our gratitude for the exceptional job done by your team in Egypt in arranging timely certificates delivery and assistance in preparing the necessary package of documents in order to obtain SCA rebate.
