The Port Sudan Corridor is the most extensive in the IGAD region in terms of distance and coverage, connecting the port of Port Sudan and the new development 46 km south at Suakin to the hinterland of Sudan, Ethiopia and South Sudan. The port of Port Sudan is the third busiest in the region and serves as the primary port for Sudan handling 90% of imports and exports, as well as the primary port for South Sudan’s oil exports, and handles a small share of Ethiopia’s trade. The corridor has two crude oil pipelines that connect oil fields in Sudan and South Sudan with the refinery and port in Port Sudan: Greater Nile Pipeline, constructed in 1999; and Petrodar Pipeline, constructed in 2005. The corridor is multi-modal with the full complement of road, rail, crude oil and petroleum product pipelines, as well as inland container depots.
