SUEZ HUB ZONE STRENGTHENS HONG KONG LINKS

01 September 2023

Slashing shipping times and serving as a hub for Asia, Europe and Africa, the
canal zone is developing rapidly.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The history of world trade has usually been an evolutionary one, with ports and
transport routes forming and declining over generations.

Occasionally, however, a single date stands out in sharp relief, a date when
before is very different to after. One such date was 17 November 1869 when the
Suez Canal opened, linking the Mediterranean Sea with the Red Sea – and
ultimately the North Atlantic Ocean with the Indian Ocean.

This slashed thousands of miles off the journey from such ports as Hong Kong,
Shanghai and Mumbai to Liverpool or Rotterdam. From its beginning, the global
trade pivot point was linked with the then still relatively new trading hub of
Hong Kong. This connection persists today.

In the same way that Hong Kong links Mainland China with the world in at large,
especially the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, so Suez lies at the
fulcrum of Africa, Asia and Europe potentially making it a valuable business
destination.

Just as Hong Kong and the neighbouring Shenzhen Special Economic Zone have
prospered, eventually forming key elements of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao
Greater Bay Area, so Egypt has established the Suez Canal Economic Zone
(SCZONE).

The two came together at the Belt and Road Summit in 2020, and zone
representatives came to Hong Kong in May this year to explore the possibility of
listing a real-estate investment trust (REIT) in the city.

China set up the China-Egypt TEDA Suez Economic and Trade Cooperation Zone in
the Sokhna Industrial Zone on the Red Sea coast, near Egypt’s new administrative
capital east of Cairo. TEDA projects include power generation and textiles.

A delegation from the General Authority of the SCZONE earlier this year
conducted a tour, led by Mr Waleid Gamal El-Dien, the Zone’s Chairman , to
Guangzhou and Hong Kong to meet officials and companies operating in the fields
of maritime transport and logistics services. Delegates met representatives of
property firm Hutchison Group, which signed an agreement with SCZONE to manage
and operate the container terminal at Sokhna Port.

The SCZONE delegation met Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL). During the
meeting, the two sides discussed cooperation in the field of providing
integrated logistics services at the ports of SCZONE.

To discuss finance and investment, the delegation also met officials of CCB
International (Holdings), a unit of China Construction Bank, as well as
representatives of CIC International (Hong Kong), the Hong Kong branch of the
sovereign wealth fund, which invests in assets abroad.

SCZONE representatives said they sought to benefit from partnership services
with these institutions in providing financial services to its investors.


The Egyptian delegation visited Cyberport, one of Hong Kong’s start-up
incubation centres



The delegation also looked at digital development, meeting officials from
InvestHK, members of the Environmental Business Council and clean energy firms
as Egypt adopts green-economy incentives, and representatives of One As1a
Company, a Legan Group company specialising in data centres and related digital
services.

Looking at entrepreneurship and start-up development, the delegation also
reached out to Hong Kong’s start-up incubator Cyberport.

Underlining green development in the Suez Zone, Port Said, at the Mediterranean
entrance of the canal, is among the early-adopters for bunkering – refuelling –
ships using green methanol rather than fossil-fuel bunker oil. The port this
month performed its inaugural refuelling of a Maersk container ship, the first
such methanol-driven vessel, en-route from Singapore to Europe, the General
Authority for the Suez Canal Economic Zone announced.

This year’s Belt and Road Summit, which runs on 13 and 14 September includes a
Middle East Forum that focuses on the region.
