The Islamic Port of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia has launched new shipping services directly connecting the ports of Berbera and Djibouti, as part of a plan to expand regional and international trade connectivity.<\/p>\n

The Saudi Ports Authority (SPA) announced that Pacific International Lines (PIL) has expanded its operations at the port of Jeddah, through new services called \u201cRGS\u201d and \u201cRS2\u201d.<\/p>\n

The press release said that the move will strengthen the role of the Port of Jeddah as a key logistics and trade hub on the Red Sea, while enhancing the competitiveness of Saudi ports, facilitating international trade flows, and contributing to improving the efficiency of port operations.<\/p>\n

“The “RGS” shipping service connects the Islamic Port of Jeddah with four regional and international ports, including Nhava Sheva and Mundra in India, Djibouti, and the port of Berbera in Somalia, before returning to the Islamic Port of Jeddah. The service can carry up to 1,810 TEU,” a statement from the Port of Jeddah said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the “RS2” service connects the Port of Jeddah with nine major ports in Asia and the Middle East, including Qingdao, Shanghai, Ningbo, Nansha and Shekou in China, Singapore, Djibouti, Sokhna in Egypt, and Aqaba in Jordan. The service has a capacity of up to 11,923 containers, further expanding the port’s trade connectivity.<\/p>\n

Mawaani officials said the development is part of efforts to strengthen Saudi Arabia\u2019s position in global performance indicators and support the country\u2019s export growth. It is also in line with the country\u2019s transport and logistics strategy, which aims to make Saudi Arabia a global hub connecting three continents.<\/p>\n

The Islamic Port of Jeddah has 62 berths, storage and transhipment facilities, and a transportation system operating directly from the port, with a total capacity of up to 130 million tons per year.<\/p>\n
