The Suez Canal recently witnessed the transit of the CMA CGM BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, the largest container ship to pass through the waterway in the past two years. This milestone signals a gradual return of mega-vessels to Egypt’s vital trade route and highlights renewed confidence in the stability of the Red Sea region.
For maritime service providers like Toya Shipping Agency, the resurgence of large container traffic opens significant opportunities across all Egyptian ports:
• Crew Change Operations: Coordinating safe and timely crew transfers for mega-ships.
• Ship Supplies & Spare Parts: Ensuring vessels are fully stocked with essential provisions and technical equipment.
• Technical Support & Inspections: Conducting hull cleaning, diving inspections, and other maintenance tasks to guarantee operational safety.
The passage of such giant vessels not only underscores Egypt’s strategic role in global shipping but also emphasizes the need for reliable, experienced maritime agencies capable of supporting complex logistics. Toya Shipping Agency’s expertise in port operations, vessel provisioning, and technical services positions it as a key partner for shipping lines navigating Egypt’s waterways.
With this return of mega-ships, Toya Shipping continues to provide efficient, safe, and comprehensive solutions for vessels of all sizes, reinforcing Egypt’s reputation as a trusted
maritime hub in the region.
