Jeddah Islamic Port boosts trade with new IRF shipping service
Saudi Ports Authority adds IRF shipping service at Jeddah Islamic Port to enhance maritime connectivity and increase cargo capacity.
The Saudi Ports Authority has introduced an IRF shipping service at Jeddah Islamic Port to bolster maritime connectivity and elevate cargo capacity. The Saudi Ports Authority, also known as Mawani, announced the integration of the IRF shipping service, operated by the global company PIL, into Jeddah Islamic Port. This strategic move aims to bolster the port's capabilities and facilitate trade between Saudi Arabia and the regional and international markets.
According to the authority, the new service will link Jeddah Islamic Port with the ports of Sokhna and Safaga in Egypt, boasting a capacity of up to 1,261 TEUs. This initiative is in line with Mawani's commitment to enhancing Saudi Arabia's standing in global performance indicators and stimulating national exports. The introduction of this service underscores the allure of Saudi ports for global shipping lines and solidifies Jeddah Islamic Port as a pivotal hub for maritime connectivity and shipping services along the Red Sea.
This development is anticipated to broaden trade routes and foster the expansion of maritime activity in the region. As one of the Kingdom's most strategically positioned ports on the Red Sea, Jeddah Islamic Port plays a crucial role in connecting Saudi Arabia to global markets. The port showcases advanced infrastructure and integrated logistics facilities that enhance international trade and support global supply chains.
