The Saudi Ports Authority (Mawani) inked two contracts to develop two logistics zones in King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam, according to statements here and here. The two developments will have a combined investment ticket of SAR 500 mn.

#1- Alissa Universal Motors — a subsidiary of automotive group Abdullatif Alissa Group Holding — will invest 300 mn to build an automative-specialized logistics zone, according to a statement. The zone — to be established over a 382k sqm area — will be specialized in handling the import and re-export of vehicles, trucks, and their spare parts, with a handling capacity of more than 13k auto units. The zone will also feature a 7k sqm warehouse for spare parts.

#2- Dammam-based Sultan Logistics Company will develop a 197k sqm logistics zone with an investment ticket of SAR 200 mn, according to a statement. The zone will include a warehouse spanning some 35 sqm, a dedicated container storage area, a maintenance area for dry and temperature-controlled containers, and an administrative office.

Mawani’s been ramping up capacity at port: Mawani and Al Jeri Logistics Services have inked two contracts worth SAR 160 mn to develop two logistics zones for storing and handling containers at Jeddah Islamic Port and King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam last year. Mawani also signed a SAR 200 mn agreement with G4 Logistics last year to set up silos and warehouses for grain storage at the port.
