Mashreq Petroleum, a subsidiary of Qalaa Holdings, is in negotiations with the General Authority of the Suez Canal Economic Zone to terminate a contract to build, operate and transfer a liquid bulk station at East Port Said, Qalaa said in a bourse statement on Monday.
Mashreq Petroleum, established in 2004, has a lease for a 210,000-square-metre plot of land at East Port Said, near the Suez Canal. It aimed to develop a fuel bunkering facility in the area.
Qalaa is one of Egypt's largest investment companies with around US$9.5 billion in assets under management, including stakes in companies in Egypt, east and north Africa.
