This achievement confirms the role of the port in enhancing the ports sector, logistics services, supporting national imports and exports, as well as contributing to raising the Kingdom’s rank in international rankings.

This achievement aligns with Mawani’s efforts to enhance the Kingdom’s leadership in the maritime sector, maximize its ability, and enhance its economic and developmental role, in line with the National Transport and Logistics Strategy (NTLS).
