The Egyptian Minister of Transport, Mohammed Lotfi Mansour said that the two new ferries / Cairo / and / Riyadh / presented to Egypt as gifts by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia reflect the strong relationship between his country and the Kingdom, and represent an important bridge of marine linkage and a complement to a series of land and sea links between the two countries. In a statement published here today, Lotfi said that the two ferries will start their first operational test journeys later this month between Safaja and Dhiba, noting that they will honor all international marine treaties and conventions between his country and the Kingdom.
