Saudi Arabia announces the addition of two new shipping routes at the Jeddah Port, a key port along the Red Sea coast, connecting nine major international and regional ports.

The Saudi Ports Authority (Mawani) recently announced a partnership with shipping giants Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd to add two new maritime routes at Jeddah Port, one of the key ports along the Red Sea coast. The new routes include Maersk’s AE19 and Hapag-Lloyd’s SE4, each with a capacity of approximately 17,000 TEUs. These routes are expected to significantly improve Jeddah Port’s operational efficiency and greatly enhance Saudi Arabia’s maritime connectivity with global markets. Through these routes, Jeddah Islamic Port will connect to nine major international and regional ports, including Busan in South Korea, Tanjung Pelepas in Malaysia, and Singapore. (Cailian Press)
