Al-Jasser breaks ground on Jeddah logistics corridor project

Minister of Transport and Logistics Services and Chairman of the Saudi Ports Authority (MAWANI) Saleh Al-Jasser broke ground today, July 2, on the Jeddah logistics corridor project, linking Jeddah Islamic Port and Al-Khumra Logistics Zone. The project, signed by MAWANI at a value exceeding SAR 689 million, aims to implement a direct link between Jeddah Islamic Port and Al-Khumra Logistics Zone, via a 17-km route dedicated for trucks, according to a statement by the authority. The corridor features two lanes in each direction and 12 suspension bridges. This should help reduce traffic congestion across the region, eliminating the need for using intercity transportation. This initiative is bound to boost Jeddah Islamic Port's operational capacity by 10%. Supporting supply chain operations, developing infrastructure, facilitating the movement of goods and containers, and bolstering operational efficiency are also among the key upsides. In addition, it will contribute to the introduction of new investment opportunities in the region, said Al-Jasser. According to data available with Argaam, MAWANI signed, in 2023, an agreement with Jeddah Chamber to establish an integrated logistics zone in Khumrah, southern Jeddah, at an investment value of nearly SAR 1 billion. Khumrah Logistics Zone, spanning 10 million square meters, is slated to be one of the biggest logistics zones along the Red Sea coast.
