Mawani Adds CMA CGM Shipping Service Linking Jeddah to Asia and Europe
Expansion of maritime connectivity between Saudi Arabia and key Asian and European markets.
Maritime connectivity between Saudi Arabia and key Asian and European markets is set to expand with the addition of CMA CGM's "Ocean Rise" shipping service to Jeddah Islamic Port by Mawani, Saudi Arabia's Ports Authority.
This new route connects Jeddah Islamic Port with major ports in Japan, China, the Netherlands, Germany, and the UK, enhancing trade connectivity and supporting the movement of Saudi exports and imports in cooperation with international shipping lines.
The service has a handling capacity of up to 3,001 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), aligning with Mawani's efforts to strengthen Saudi Arabia's links to regional and international markets.
This addition is part of Mawani's broader strategy to enhance the Kingdom's ranking in global performance indicators and support global trade flows, as outlined in the National Transport and Logistics Strategy.
Mawani has launched 18 maritime shipping services during the current period, with a combined estimated handling capacity of 123,552 TEUs.
This expansion aims to ensure efficient delivery of goods to markets and enhance operational readiness across Saudi ports in cooperation with global shipping companies including MSC, Maersk, PIL, CMA CGM, and Hapag-Lloyd.
The latest service expands Mawani's growing portfolio of shipping connections as Saudi Arabia accelerates investment in transport and logistics infrastructure to support economic diversification efforts under Vision 2030.
In March, Mawani added five shipping services operated by Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd, MSC, and CMA CGM, with a combined capacity of 63,594 TEUs.
Saudi ports recorded a 6.66 percent annual increase in cargo throughput in March, reflecting the growing importance of the Kingdom's port activity.
Jeddah Islamic Port is one of Saudi Arabia's key maritime gateways, featuring 62 multi-purpose berths, a logistics park for warehousing and re-export, a direct trucking system, specialized terminals, and advanced equipment.
The port includes two container terminals and marine service berths with a total handling capacity of up to 130 million tonnes.
