MAWANI pens SAR 250M contract to build logistics zone at Jeddah Islamic Port

Saudi Ports Authority (MAWANI) signed a contract with Sultan Logistics Co., a specialized national company, to establish a logistics zone at Jeddah Islamic Port in the Khomrah area.

The project carries an investment value of SAR 250 million and will span 200,000 square meters. The initiative aims to boost operational efficiency and enhance the logistics services provided to port beneficiaries.

According to MAWANI’s statement, the logistics zone will include integrated operational facilities such as modern warehouses, storage and maintenance yards for dry and refrigerated containers, and a dedicated re-export area.

These facilities are expected to improve logistics services and increase the efficiency of commercial movement through the port.

The new zone will strengthen the competitive advantage of Jeddah Islamic Port, one of the Red Sea’s key ports, by offering advanced logistics services, enabling private sector participation in supporting the national economy, and promoting economic diversification across the Kingdom.

Jeddah Islamic Port is among the region’s largest ports by capacity, handling up to 130 million tons. It features advanced infrastructure, including 62 multipurpose berths, several specialized terminals, and state-of-the-art equipment.
