Jazan Port Reports 44% Cargo Increase in Q1
During the first quarter of the year, Jazan Port for Basic and Transformation Industries experienced a 44% increase in cargo handling volume, reaching 317,000 tons compared to 221,000 tons in the same period of the previous year. The port management indicated that total imports amounted to 264,000 tons, while exports reached 54,000 tons, reflecting growing commercial activity and expanding connections between the port and both local and global markets. This growth is attributed to shifts in regional shipping routes and some lines shifting to utilize Red Sea ports as logistic alternatives, especially amid disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. Additionally, the first shipment of clinker material was dispatched to Egypt, and the port received its first batch of manganese ore from South Africa during this period, further strengthening its role as a logistical hub for mining and processing industries, and contributing to the development of its operational capabilities and supply chain.
