The National Shipping Company of Saudi Arabia (Bahri) has marked the commencement of construction for its new logistics centre at the Jeddah Islamic Port.
The groundbreaking ceremony, held on February 18, saw the laying of the cornerstone for this cutting-edge facility, which is set to span over 95,436 square meters.
Managed by Bahri Logistics, the centre is poised to elevate the country’s logistics capabilities and supply chain efficiency.
The event was graced by the presence of notable figures, including Engineer Saleh bin Nasser Al Jasser, Minister of Transport and Logistics Services and Chairman of the Saudi Ports Authority, alongside Omar Hariri, President of the Saudi Ports Authority (Mawani), and Engineer Ahmed Ali Al Subaey, CEO of Bahri. Their attendance underscores the project’s significance to the nation’s strategic logistics vision.
Designed to cater to a broad spectrum of storage needs, the Bahri Logistics Center will feature temperature-controlled areas, comprehensive handling services, and a suite of value-added services. This initiative aims not only to enhance logistics operations within the Kingdom but also to attract multinational companies looking to establish logistics hubs in the region.
Omar Hariri highlighted the centre’s pivotal role in reinforcing the maritime transport and logistics sector, aligning with the National Transportation and Logistics Strategy (NTLS). This strategy is a cornerstone of the Kingdom’s ambitious vision to stimulate economic growth and increase non-oil exports.
