The Saudi Ports Authority #Mawani has announced today the addition of King Abdulaziz Port to the newly-launched India-Saudi-Iraq #ISI #shipping service by Singapore-based feeder operator Bengal Tiger Line (BTL).

Aimed at empowering importers and exporters with best-in-class offerings, the regional route further strengthens the Kingdom’s maritime connectivity in its quest to establish itself as the world’s leading logistics destination in alignment with the ambitions of the National Transport and Logistics Strategy (NTLS).

The ISI service links the Dammam-based hub to the Indian port of Mundra and the Iraqi port of Umm Qasr aboard a 929-TEU vessel.
