About Sonker
In 2003, and as an integral part of the Master Plan that Amiral Group has developed for Sokhna Port and the Suez Canal Economic Zone, Sonker was established as petroleum import, storage, handling, and bunkering facility. Sonker is a Public-Private Partnership jointly owned by Amiral Group (63%) and the Ministries of Petroleum and Finance owning the remaining 37%.
Why Sonker
-
01.Sonker provides a state of the art facility at a strategic location with a potential to turn Sokhna into a regional hub for storage, bunkering and trading activities
-
02.Injection of over US$450 Million of FDI
-
03.Creating over 2400 job opportunities and training for Egyptian labor
-
04.A 25 year off-take agreement with EGPC, the sole entity assigned to import petroleum products in Egypt with guaranteed 75% of Gasoil and 80% of LPG imports through the Red Sea
-
05.Expanding consumption patterns will fuel demand for Gasoil in transportation. Slum population growth with limited connectivity to LNG network will drive demand for LPG
-
06.Existing refining and storage facilities fall far short in terms of capacity and efficiency to fulfill Egypt’s current and future needs
