History
The Suez Canal Container Terminal became operational in 2004. Designs in 1999 and actions on the part of the Egyptian government lead the tender for a new container terminal in Port Said.
In 2007, the Egyptian government signed a concession agreement for the progression of "Phase II" of the SCCT facility.
Construction on the SCCT first started in 2003, and a target date of October 1 of the following year was established.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“These anyway might think it was important
That human history should not be shortened.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Bias, point of view, fury—are they ... so dangerous and must they be ironed out of history, the hills flattened and the contours leveled? The professors talk ... about passion and point of view in history as a Calvinist talks about sin in the bedroom.”
—Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)
“I believe my ardour for invention springs from his loins. I can’t say that the brassiere will ever take as great a place in history as the steamboat, but I did invent it.”
—Caresse Crosby (1892–1970)
