Saudi ports Authority - MAWANI Marks a Big Start in 2019
Saudi Ports Authority (Mawani) looks up for a bright 2019, where it seems fully prepared with some major developments taking place for the 9 ports it manages.
Marking an inevitable turning point in the history of Middle East ports, Mawani has recently launched the integrated shipment scheduling system at King Abdul Aziz port, part of the electronic clearance services, meant to reduce dual time at Saudi ports. Clients can now electronically schedule an appointment and choose their carrier, all of which can save time down to only 17 minutes at the port.
In line with the pursuit to keep up with new updates and services, Mawani sponsored a cooperation agreement for shipbuilding and repairing at King Abdul Aziz port in Dammam. The agreement was held alongside the Ministry of Transport, between Al Blagha Industrial, one of Al Blagha Group’s companies, and International Maritime Industries, a joint venture between a number of leading maritime companies.
Re-positioning King Abdul Aziz Port, this agreement aims at attracting several vessels and offshore rigs to the port, settling many specialized maritime jobs, training and improving national personnel, thus adding a new success to this promising sector.
