The Saudi Ports Authority (Mawani) has added the "RC2" shipping service, operated by Ocean Network Express (ONE), to Jeddah Islamic Port, enhancing maritime connectivity between Saudi Arabia and the world, while reinforcing the port's growing competitive advantage and operational efficiency.
The new shipping service strengthens Jeddah Islamic Port's connections with the Chinese ports of Shanghai, Ningbo, and Nansha, as well as Aqaba in Jordan and Sokhna in Egypt, deploying vessels with a capacity of up to 1,643 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs). The move is part of Mawani's efforts to improve Saudi Arabia's ranking in global performance indicators and support the flow of national exports.
Jeddah Islamic Port is an important logistics and commercial hub on the Red Sea coast. It covers an area of 12.5 square kilometers and has 62 berths, along with several specialized terminals and advanced facilities. The port also has a number of berths for marine services, such as mooring and pilotage, and fully equipped halls for receiving pilgrims and visitors.
