Mike,
I don't think anyone has yet posted the the specific agent/ contact info for
this RO-RO service in Port Said. You might try a PM to Omar Mansour, above,
or if not, try contacting the Turkey office of the RO-RO company:
MENA Lines
info@menalines.com
+90 212 246 4560
+90 533 730 7069
p.s. I was wrong, Egypt contacts are HUBB posted here (different sub-forum/ thread):

Hannes, this is the first proof that a ferry is actually running! My calls to the shipping company have been dead ends, but still trying. This is enough evidence for me to just drive up to Port Said and work it out there.
I will post what I find out.

News
I love this post for I am looking for ways to get on from Egypt. Currently in Alexandria I visited the office of Kadmar Shipping as posted above. But Kadmar has nothing to do with the ship from Port Said. They try to set up a similar service from Alexandria to Mersin. As they say 'The service may start on May 25th'. Which would be awesome if you could trust that date. About the ship from Port Said they know nothing.
However, I called the number from the blue leaflet above (=20)3 4890300. This connected me to a different shipping agency and they are responsible for the ship from Port Said. It sails next on Monday 14th May. However, on the phone they could not tell me anything about the price or the arrangement for the bike. Only that there is not enough time for me to catch this Monday's boat due to the necessary paperwork. 'We call you back...'
However, the important point is: there is indeed a regular ferry service! Which is fantastic news.

Hi H
do you know if you can also take you car with you in this ferry? I would like to travel over sea to Egypt and take my car with me to continue traveling to Jordan.
Greets!

To Jordan?
If you want to avoid the hassle in Egypt and Jordan is your destination, why not take the ferry from Monfalcone (Italy) to Ashdod or Haifa (Israel) and cross the border Israel – Jordan at Allenby / King Hussein Bridge ?

Hi Guys,
We have taken the ferry from Mersin to Port Said.
Finally got the vehicle through customs today.
We have posted all the details on a different thread:
http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...pt-new-63995-2
In total we paid $1380 to get from Mersin to Port Said (this includes all customes duties, taxes and what ever else they can think of at the port)
Looking back, I would go through Libya!!
You'll have an armed guard escort you through the country and I have been told by some friends that have just gone through, that it was brilliant.
Any questions, feel free to drop me a message!
