National Shipping Company of Saudi Arabia (Bahri) announced the launch of the “Bahri Bonded Zone” at Jeddah Islamic Port, under the patronage of Minister of Transport and Logistics Services Saleh Al-Jasser.

The zone is Bahri’s first integrated logistics facility of its kind and offers a range of distinctive logistics solutions and capabilities aligned with the Kingdom’s ambition to strengthen its position as a global logistics hub equipped to attract cargo flows and facilitate trade and supply chains, the company said, in a post on “X” platform.

Bahri Bonded Zone spans more than 95,000 square meters and provides a storage capacity of over 80,000 pallet positions, with the capability to handle more than one million pallets annually. It includes 34 loading and unloading docks and operates through a comprehensive security system with round the clock monitoring.

In February 2022, The Saudi Ports Authority (MAWANI) signed a 20-year agreement with Bahri to build and operate an integrated logistics park on land leased at the Jeddah Islamic Port on a total area of 95.440 square meters.
