Sabic sends first polymer shipment via Red Sea Express from Yanbu

Red Sea Express route for polymers

The Saudi Ports Authority (Mawani), Sabic, and Folk Maritime have shipped the first containerized polymer shipment from King Fahd Industrial Port in Yanbu via the Red Sea Express service, marking the first use of the route for the company’s products. Operated by Folk Maritime, the 1.1k-TEU Red Sea Express links Jeddah Islamic Port and Yanbu with Ain Sokhna and Aqaba, creating a scheduled container connection for Saudi industrial exports across the Red Sea. The route is expected to speed cargo handling, cut vessel waiting times, improve supply-chain efficiency, and support Saudi non-oil exports.
