Saudi Arabia unveils 27 new maritime services
Saudi Arabia succeeded in just 138 days in strengthening the status of its western coast as a global logistics hub through the implementation of a comprehensive development plan. This included adding more than 27 new maritime services with a capacity exceeding 200,000 containers per month, as well as investments totaling over 640 million Riyals to improve port infrastructure, roads, and railways. The plan aims to shift the logistical center of gravity to Jeddah Islamic Port, especially with maritime navigation through the Strait of Hormuz being disrupted. It also seeks to boost global trade movements by establishing direct sea routes with Asia, Europe, India, and America, thereby supporting Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 to enhance the Red Sea’s role as a strategic corridor for international supply chains.
