From the article:

The inauguration of the IMS service underscores Mawani’s efforts to augment King Abdul Aziz Port’s operational efficacy and establish it as a pivotal player in the global maritime logistics and transportation sectors.

This move aims to streamline the export-import process and is in accordance with Saudi Arabia’s National Transport and Logistics Strategy (NTLS).

The ambition is clear: to position the Kingdom as a global centre for logistics, bridging the continents of Asia, Africa, and Europe.

Connecting continents

The service ensures the King Abdul Aziz Port is directly linked to five pivotal ports: Klang (Malaysia), Surabaya and Jakarta (Indonesia), Nhava Sheva (India), and Jebel Ali (United Arab Emirates), through regular weekly sailings.
