Jeddah Port joins Gemini Alliance
The General Authority of Ports, "Mawani," announced the strengthening of Jeddah Islamic Port’s position as a key hub in the "AE15" and "AE19" services operated by the "Gemini Cooperation" alliance, which includes Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd. This update involves rerouting their passages through the Bab el Mandeb Strait and the Suez Canal. The aim is to enhance direct maritime connectivity between the Kingdom and Asian and European markets, reducing the operational cycle time from 16 weeks to 14 weeks, while maintaining weekly sailings. This development highlights Jeddah Port’s significance as a global logistics center, enabling it to better support supply chains and increase its attractiveness to international shipping lines, in line with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 to promote the transport and logistics sector.
