Saudi Arabia asks shipping agents to expedite container retrieval at Dammam Port

This comes after Mawani noticed delays at the port. They want containers and cargo collected promptly to avoid operational issues and ensure swift delivery to recipients. They have enough infrastructure to avoid any kind of delay.

With 43 fully equipped quaysides and a capacity of up to 105 million tons of goods and containers, the port has advanced operational capabilities. It also has specialized terminals, modern facilities, and equipment to handle various types of cargo, in line with the national transport and logistics strategy. This reinforces Saudi Arabia’s position as a global logistics hub.

To stay competitive, the port has established four integrated logistics zones, with investments exceeding SAR 1.2 billion ($320 million), in partnership with major international and national companies. The port has added 12 new shipping services over the past year and 5 more since the beginning of 2024. This boosts services for importers, exporters, and shipping agents.

In a recent report, Saudi Arabia scored 248 points in the Maritime Network Connectivity Index, reflecting smooth goods flow and strong supply chains.
