Port Sudan – lying on the spectacular Red Sea coast - is a logistics hub that holds a visionary investment park and a key oil refinery, inclunding acting as a strategic maritime gateway and potential tourism destination
Each year from Port Sudan – home to Sudan’s major seaport – around $4 billion worth of goods are exported, while annual imports to the tune of $7.5 billion are offloaded, making the harbor an integral part of the country’s economy.
As a trade hub, perhaps the majority significant facet of Port Sudan is its oil refinery. The site handles oil transported mainly from South Sudan, where it is refined and again shipped from the nearby docks around the world, helping the country earn billions worth in transit fees and exports.
