RIYADH: Jeddah Islamic Port has received the motor vessel BYD HEFEI, a dual-fuel roll-on/roll-off carrier with a 7,000-unit capacity for vehicles and heavy equipment.
The vessel’s arrival at the Red Sea Gateway Terminal reflects the port’s readiness to handle next-generation maritime traffic and supports the Kingdom’s broader push to enhance supply chain efficiency under Vision 2030.
Operated at the RSGT — Saudi Arabia’s first Build-Operate-Transfer terminal, partly owned by the Public Investment Fund and global logistics firm DP World — the MV BYD HEFEI highlights the Kingdom’s ongoing efforts to modernize terminals and advance sustainability initiatives.
The ship is powered by eco-friendly dual-fuel technology and is designed to meet the latest environmental and operational efficiency standards.
“This reflects the port’s readiness to accommodate various types of vessels and highlights its advanced operational capabilities,” according to the Saudi Ports Authority, also known as Mawani.
