Riyadh – King Abdullah Port said it will have a capacity to handle 20 million containers upon completion of construction works at its facilities. The 17.4 million-square-meter port is the first to be owned, developed, and managed by the kingdom’s private sector.

A total of 10 leading shipping lines operate in the port, providing their comprehensive services to exporters and importers, Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported on Sunday.

After less than four years from operation, the port was ranked as one of the fastest-growing container ports and was among the largest 100 ports worldwide. It currently handles 6.5 million containers.

Located in Rabigh city, the port continued to deploy state-of-the-art technologies, including smart terminals and port management systems.

It also benefits from the advanced transportation network, which is designed to carry out cargo loading and transport quickly and effectively, hence, stressing its role as a catalyst to the economic growth through the activation of commercial businesses.
