“We can only compete on internationally focused projects; we cannot compete in the local market. When it comes to international projects, where you need to have international experience, we are considered one of the only companies in Egypt who manages certain types of consortiums,” says Mostafa Al Hassan, Chairman of Global Consolidated Contractors (GCC).
“Global Consolidated Contractors was established in 2005. The idea behind the company and even its name was to create a merger between the consortium from international companies in the construction sector and local companies. We work in construction management and we bring together international expertise and local labour to bid for international projects,” says Mostafa Al Hassan, Chairman of Global Consolidated Contractors (GCC).
“The shipping industry has never been affected as most of the Egyptian ports which were secured, only for a few days during the Arab Spring. All international trade was running perfectly most of the time, except for those few days and only in certain ports in the Red Sea and the Mediterranean. The authorities and the government did a fantastic job in controlling the uprising at that time.”
“There is no other container terminal on the Suez Canal on the Mediterranean end able to handle very large container vessels.

“The SCCT is a true success story for Egypt. This year we celebrate our 10th anniversary,” says Klaus Holm Laursen, CEO of the Suez Canal Container Terminal (SCCT).
“Egypt truly plays an important role in global trade and moving goods between these regions,” argues Klaus Holm Laursen, CEO of the Suez Canal Container Terminal (SCCT).

Therefore, our main competitive advantage is our prime location. There are facilities close by on the Mediterranean but we stand out because of our size,” explains Klaus Holm Laursen, CEO of Suez Canal Container Terminal (SCCT).
