Stevedoring operations normal in Alex., Dekheila ports despite closure

ALEXANDRIA,14 Feb 2019: Stevedoring operations have been going on normally despite the closure of Alexandria and Dekheila ports on the back of a spell of rough weather battering Egypt's northern shores, Spokesman for Alexandria Port Reda el Ghandour said.

Both ports were closed due to bad weather conditions, high waves and increasing wind velocity in order to avoid collision between ships, he said in a statement on Thursday.
