Jeddah Port's role in global shipping
The Ports Authority "Ports" has confirmed the enhancement of Jeddah Islamic Port's position as a major hub in the services of the AE19 and AE15 shipping routes for the Gemini alliance, which includes Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd. This is achieved through updating their routes to pass through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and the Suez Canal, thereby strengthening the direct connection of the Kingdom with Asian and European markets. The update also includes listing the port twice in the AE19 service, offering flexible connection options and a shorter operational cycle of 14 to 16 weeks. This reflects the port's vital role as a global logistics center on the Red Sea, supporting the continuity of supply chains and boosting the competitiveness of the port and logistics services sector in Saudi Arabia, in line with Saudi Vision 2030.
