Red Sea destination Somabay has inked an agreement with engineering and construction firm EDECS to expand and upgrade Somabay Marina.
According to the agreement, EDECS will oversee the implementation of Phase II of the project, which plans to expand the marina by 72,130 cubic meters. This will result in an increased berthing capacity of 260 vessels. The marina currently accommodates 120 berths for vessels up to 40 meters in length.
Somabay is one of Egypt’s leading tourist destinations, located on the Red Sea coast. It boasts five luxury resort hotels and residential offerings.
“This project marks a new milestone in our ongoing efforts to transform Somabay into a fully integrated world-class destination. We continuously strive to enhance our facilities and expand the marina’s capacity to meet growing demand, further reinforcing Somabay’s position as one of the region’s foremost marine destinations,” said Ibrahim El Missiri, CEO of Somabay Group. “Our goal is to consistently elevate the visitor experience and service quality, while preserving the Red Sea’s unique natural beauty to ensure its enduring appeal and sustainability. “
“We are honored by the trust placed in EDECS to execute this remarkable project, which reinforces our reputation as a reliable partner in marine works and marina development. The company is fully dedicated to delivering an exceptional expansion that surpasses global quality standards, helping to position the Red Sea region among the world’s most prestigious tourist destinations,” added EDECS Vice Chairman Dr. Mahmoud Hassanen.
