Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouli inspected on Wednesday 17/8/2022 Alexandria Port to follow up on the projects underway at the port.
The premier was accompanied by Minister of Finance Mohamed Maait, Minister of Transport Kamel El Wazir, Alexandria Governor Mohamed El Sherif as well as a galaxy of officials.
During his tour of the port, the premier visited the building of Misr Technology Services (MTS) company which is assigned with the implementation of Advance Cargo Information (ACI), which is a new customs system under which Egyptian importers are required to declare full information about goods to be shipped to Egypt before actual loading from the exporting country.
The premier asked some customers of MTS about the services offered to them through the logistics center as they praised the platform and its managerial system.
Maait, on his part, briefed the premier on the practical benefits of implementing ACI, noting that Egypt is among top countries which introduced such system as it reduced the customs measures and the timing of releasing goods especially those pertaining to production requirements and strategic commodities.
