Bahri Logistics, a business unit of the National Shipping Company of Saudi Arabia (Bahri), a global leader in shipping, maritime transportation, and logistics, has expanded its ship agency operations with the opening of two new offices at Yanbu Commercial and Industrial Ports and Ras Tanura Industrial Port. The expansion strengthens the company’s operational presence at some of the Kingdom’s most strategically important ports serving the energy sector, complementing its existing operations at Jubail Commercial and Industrial Ports, Ras Al-Khair Port, Jeddah Islamic Port, King Abdullah Port, and King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam.
The move reflects Bahri Logistics’ commitment to strengthening its on-the-ground capabilities and enhancing the efficiency of its maritime services, supporting seamless operations while providing integrated ship and tanker agency solutions across Saudi ports. By expanding its presence in both the western region along the Red Sea coast and the eastern region along the Arabian Gulf, the company is further enhancing its ability to provide faster and more efficient support to customers across the oil and gas and industrial sectors.
Through this expansion, Bahri Logistics will provide a comprehensive range of ship agency solutions, including coordination of vessel port calls, crew-related requirements, handling of vessel operational and cargo documentation, and specialized logistics support, ensuring smooth operations for various types of vessels calling at Saudi ports. The Yanbu and Ras Tanura offices will also serve as strategic coordination hubs, supported by advanced digital systems and Bahri’s nationwide network, with the aim of accelerating port procedures and enhancing transparency in service delivery.
Commenting on the expansion, Mohammed Alsinan, Vice President of Bahri Logistics, said the opening of the two new offices marks an important step in the company’s efforts to strengthen its operational presence and enhance the level of service provided to customers.
“The opening of our new offices at Yanbu and Ras Tanura ports is a strategic step that brings us closer to our customers and partners at two of the Kingdom’s most important ports supporting the energy and industrial sectors. Through this expansion, we aim to respond more quickly to operational requirements, enhance coordination with relevant stakeholders, and provide integrated and reliable ship agency services that meet our customers’ needs and help improve the efficiency of their operations across the supply chain.”
The expansion of Bahri Logistics’ ship agency services is aligned with its long-term sustainable growth strategy and reflects its support for the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030 to reinforce the Kingdom’s position as a global logistics hub. The expansion also strengthens Bahri’s position as a national pillar of the maritime sector and supports the development of services and infrastructure in line with the highest international standards, contributing to the competitiveness of Saudi ports and the wider maritime ecosystem.
