To be built over 100,000 square metres, the state-of-the-art logistics park will offer a handling capacity of 300,000 TEU alongside a suite of best-in-class logistics solutions which facilitate inland freight transportation between the Central and Eastern Regions and the rest of the Kingdom.
Thanks to its close proximity to Jubail Industrial City and major urban centres in the Eastern Region, the logistics facility is primely-located to deliver competitive and cost-efficient services to the local market.
Over of course of the last two years, MAWANI had struck significant partnerships worth over 2 billion Riyals ($530 million).
