Saudi ports invest 5.5B riyals since crisis

Saudi ports, especially Jeddah Port, invested over 5.5 billion riyals during the Red Sea crisis, in efforts to enhance their operational capabilities and develop their infrastructure. The port experienced a significant increase in truck traffic, expanding from about 2,000 to over 10,000 trucks daily, in addition to an increase in the number of ships, with more than 34 new vessels from global companies such as Maersk and MSC entering. Moreover, 16 initiatives were implemented to improve operational readiness, and more than 640 million riyals were allocated to support the port's capacity to handle containers, establishing its role as a key hub for supplying markets within the kingdom and the Gulf region. The results demonstrate that West Coast ports, including Yanbu and Neom, operate in an integrated manner to support global supply chains, with container and cargo transits expected to increase amid ongoing growth in demand for logistics services. Future plans also include increasing investments and developing economic zones and ports along both the eastern and western coasts.
