The Saudi Ports Authority (Mawani) has reached a long-term agreement with shipping giant Bahri for the construction and operation of an integrated logistics park over a total area of 95,436 sq m leased at the Jeddah Islamic Port.

Once built, Bahri will manage operations at the state-of-the-art facility for a duration of 20 years, said Mawani.

The 95,436-sq-m logistics zone will provide storage and handling services for all types of inbound and outbound shipping containers that are owned by Bahri and other entities.  It will be capable of storing reefer, insulated and dry containers with services like container maintenance and repair, container cleaning, bonded storage, and haulage available to clients at any given point, it stated.

“Launching this project forms a core part of our initiatives to achieve the objectives of the National Transportation and Logistics Strategy (NTLS), which envisions setting up similar logistics zones within and beyond Saudi ports to empower the kingdom’s bid to become a global logistics hub as well as provide world-class logistics services to accelerate economic development and enable overall transformation in line with Vision 2030,” stated Mawani President Omar Talal Hariri after signing the deal with Bahri CEO Engineer Abdullah Ali Aldubaikhi in the presence of senior officials

Jeddah Islamic Port spreads over 12.5 sq km and is equipped with 62 berths and four terminals and Mawani is aiming to position the port amongst the top 10 globally.
