The Saudi Ports Authority (MAWANI) and Saudi shipping giant Bahri have jointly announced the addition of a new freight service connecting Europe and Asia via Jeddah Islamic Port.
Jeddah Islamic Port is set to welcome the route’s first ship in February 2023.

Vessels on the new service will set sail from the ports of Bremerhaven, Antwerp, and Montoir in Europe before calling at Jeddah on its way to the Indian port of Ennore, and the Chinese ports of Taicang and Shanghai.
