The Red Sea Ports Authority has announced the closure of Hurghada Port in the Red Sea Governorate on Wednesday at 2:30 PM due to adverse weather conditions. The decision was made as strong northwesterly winds and high waves created unsafe navigation conditions.
According to the authority’s media center, wind speeds in the area ranged between 24 and 30 knots, while wave heights reached between 3 and 4 meters, making the sea extremely turbulent. As a precautionary measure, all maritime traffic and sea-related activities, including those involving both small and large vessels, have been suspended to ensure the safety of maritime operations.
In response to the hazardous weather, Major General Engineer Mohamed Abdel Rahim, Chairman of the Red Sea Ports Authority, issued strict directives to port managers to implement all necessary precautionary measures.
