Saudi Global Ports Group (SGP) has signed four 20-year concession agreements with the Saudi Ports Authority (Mawani) to operate multipurpose terminals at key ports along Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Coast.
The agreements cover King Abdulaziz Port Dammam (KAPD), Jubail Commercial Port (JCP), King Fahad Industrial Port Jubail (KFIP), and Ras Al-Khair Port (RAK).
Under the new agreements, SGP will invest over SAR 700 million ($187 million) to upgrade the terminals and acquire new equipment.
The company aims to integrate the new sites with its existing network in Dammam and Riyadh, transforming them into efficient, resilient logistics gateways to support national growth and upcoming mega projects.
Training and workforce development are central to the plan. Supported by its technical partner PSA International, SGP will implement tailored training programs focused on safety, operations, and sustainability — drawing on PSA’s global expertise in managing multipurpose terminals.
