Saudi Ports Modernize Infrastructure
Saudi ports strengthened their operational and logistics infrastructure. Container throughput rose 14% in October 2026 to 866,201 containers, while Jeddah Islamic Port recorded a monthly record of 582,900 containers. The number of logistics centers at the ports reached 34, backed by investments exceeding SAR 14 billion. Projects include warehousing, consolidation, and re-export, and are expected to create more than 5,000 jobs. A system was also launched to operate the multipurpose terminals at King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam, improving cargo planning, equipment allocation, and delay monitoring. The port has 43 berths and a capacity of 105 million tonnes. These expansions and systems aim to improve supply-chain efficiency and strengthen the Kingdom’s role as a global logistics hub, despite an 11.7% year-on-year decline in total cargo handled in October.
