Saudi Mawani adds Red Sea Express shipping service linking Yanbu to Egypt, Jordan
RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s King Fahd Industrial Port in Yanbu will see faster cargo handling, shorter waiting times, and improved supply chain efficiency through the new Red Sea Express container shipping service.
Launched by Saudi Ports Authority, also known as Mawani, in partnership with Folk Maritime and SABIC, the new line connects King Fahd Industrial Port in Yanbu, Ain Sokhna Port in Egypt, and Aqaba Port in Jordan, and has a carrying capacity of up to 1,100 twenty-foot equivalent units, according to a statement.
It is expected to support the Kingdom’s economy by increasing non-oil exports, attracting investments, and reinforcing the role of ports as a key economic driver for Saudi Arabia and the wider region.
The new line builds on Mawani’s ongoing expansion of shipping services with major global carriers as the authority works to strengthen Saudi Arabia’s connectivity with regional and international markets.
