The Egyptian government signed a concession agreement for a term of 30 years in relation to the need for a container terminal in Port Said.[citation needed] In 2002,[citation needed] Egypt ratified an additional concession agreement, following earlier approval of terminal design in 2001.[citation needed]
Construction on the SCCT first started in 2003,[citation needed] and a target date of October 1 of the following year was established. The Suez Canal Container Terminal became operational in October 2004.[2]
In 2007, the Egyptian government signed a concession agreement[3] for the progression of "Phase II" of the SCCT facility.[2]
