The General Ports Authority of Saudi Arabia (MAWANI) and A.P. Moller-Maersk (Maersk) have announced the launch of the Middle East’s biggest Maersk Logistics Park at Jeddah Islamic Port.
Maersk Logistics Park has been built at the Jeddah Islamic Port with advanced infrastructure with berths capable of accommodating new generations of large ships, as well as modern, automated, environmentally friendly equipment.
The 225,000-square-metre facility, which cost $250 million to build, is the Middle East’s largest single-site Logistics and Services facility.
Omar Hariri, President of the General Authority of Ports, said: “These solutions work to connect and facilitate the supply chains, which contributes to achieving qualitative leaps in the operational performance of the ports and enhances the capabilities of the logistics sector and global trade movement.”
