Ports extends MSC route to Bab al-Mandeb
The General Authority of Ports "Mwani" announced an update to the "JADE" shipping service operated by the global "MSC" company. The new route now includes passing through the Bab el Mandeb Strait and the Suez Canal via King Abdulaziz Port in Rabigh, replacing the previous routes. This update aims to reduce the time it takes for goods to reach markets, improve trade efficiency, and enhance the reliability of supply chains between the Kingdom and international markets. The service connects King Abdulaziz Port to several international ports, including ports in France, Spain, Italy, Singapore, and China, with a capacity of up to 15,000 TEU containers. This development strengthens the Kingdom’s position as a global logistics hub, thanks to its strategic location, operational capabilities, and modern port facilities—such as King Abdulaziz Port, which has a draft depth of 18 meters, nine berths, and an annual capacity of up to 5.1 million containers.
