SABIC said the shipment underscores its commitment to meeting customer demand and strengthening its presence in global markets, according to their post on X.

However, the company did not disclose the shipment's size, the types of chemicals transported, or the specific South Asian countries receiving the cargo.

SABIC added that NCC Fajr is the world's largest liquid chemical tanker.

It noted that the shipment reflects the efficiency of Saudi Arabia's integrated logistics ecosystem and the collaboration among the Kingdom's leading companies.
