Red Sea reshapes Saudi trade routes
Analysis and Conclusion: The article highlights the importance of the Red Sea as a strategic waterway, through which approximately 12% of global trade and a similar percentage of traded oil pass. Its significance for Saudi Arabia is increasing, especially following disruptions in shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, as its western ports such as Yanbu and Jeddah have become key centers for oil exports and goods, with a noticeable rise in shipments. Saudi Arabia is making substantial investments in developing Jeddah Islamic Port and its related logistics system, aiming to transform the ports into hubs that reinforce the Kingdom's position as a major player in regional and international trade. This aligns with the goals of Vision 2030 to diversify the economy and reduce reliance on oil, with projections of creating more than 5,000 new jobs.
