This is the first visit by an official at the authority to El Arish Port after it became affiliated to the authority, the statement said.
It aims at standing on the financial and operational condition of the port in light of the authority's development plan of all its affiliated ports, the statement added.
Arish port is one of the most promising ports to export white cement, gypsum, gravel, edible salts (also known as table salts), in addition to pure silica sand used in glass industry, the statement said.
The port could also be used to import coal needed to operate factories, the statement added.
