CAIRO — Egypt’s Middle East Oil Tanks & Pipelines Company (MIDTAP) handled more than 5 million tonnes of petroleum products in 2025, reflecting rising activity at its marine terminal in Dekheila Port and growing demand for fuel logistics across the country.
The results were presented during the company’s general assembly meeting chaired by Petroleum and Mineral Resources Minister Karim Badawi, who said MIDTAP has significant opportunities to expand its role in developing pipeline networks, storage facilities and petroleum logistics infrastructure.
Badawi said the company’s expanding operational footprint should be matched by continued adherence to high standards of safety, occupational health and environmental protection, alongside ongoing training programmes to enhance technical capabilities within project teams.
He also called for a comprehensive five-year strategy to support sustainable growth, focusing on improving the efficiency of existing assets, adopting advanced technologies in pipeline management and expanding participation in petroleum infrastructure projects.
MIDTAP plays a key role in Egypt’s petroleum supply chain by receiving imported petroleum products through its marine berth at Dekheila before transferring them to the domestic market via the national petroleum pipeline network.
According to the company, throughput volumes rose markedly during 2025, with the terminal handling diesel, jet fuel and styrene, a key petrochemical feedstock, among other products.
A total of 180 tanker vessels called at the terminal during the year.
The operations also support Egypt’s refining sector by facilitating shipments linked to the MIDOR refinery in Alexandria and ensuring the steady supply of crude oil for processing.
Beyond traditional petroleum logistics, MIDTAP has begun exploring new investment areas aligned with Egypt’s evolving energy strategy.
The company recently participated in establishing Mada, a joint venture with the Infinity–Hassan Allam alliance and Misr Petroleum, aimed at developing electric vehicle charging infrastructure nationwide.
The project targets the installation of 510 charging points within five years, supporting the gradual shift towards cleaner transportation.
MIDTAP is also studying the development of an LPG storage and handling facility in Alexandria with a planned capacity of 80,000 tonnes, which could strengthen supply security for domestic energy markets.
The company reported 60,000 safe working hours during the reporting period and said its technical teams had received training under the Process Safety Management (PSM) System Foundation programme.
MIDTAP also renewed fire-safety certification for its facilities at Dekheila Port.
Beyond its operational activities, the company said it contributed to Egypt’s “Haya Karima” rural development initiative in Menoufia governorate and supported healthcare services including Minya University Hospitals and medical centres serving the petroleum sector.
