Al Kawthar submarket recorded the fastest rental growth in Jeddah, up 18%, followed by Al Nakheel with 16% growth. Jeddah\u2019s performance was further buoyed by DP World\u2019s SAR 3 bn investment in the South Container Terminal of the Jeddah Islamic Port, which doubled its capacity and enhanced freight flows, reinforcing the city\u2019s strategic importance in regional trade.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Dammam faces tight supply and rising rents: <\/strong>In the Dammam Metropolitan Area, warehouse stock edged up by 0.7% to 8 mn sqm.

Operating under tight budgetary constraints and strict delivery times, all while developing new performance enhancement plans and financial models, is a significant undertaking. Nevertheless, this period has profoundly demonstrated our team's grit and our ability to deliver under pressure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The push for fuel consumption savings has evolved from a luxury into an absolute necessity<\/strong>. To address this, we've formed a strategic partnership with Azra Tech Inc., applying their advanced, ultra-low friction hull coating system. For just one of our vessels, we project savings of approximately USD 300,000 in fuel consumption over its upcoming 30-month operational cycle. This investment ensures long-term efficiency, benefiting both shipowners and charterers alike.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>We also recently established our Maritime Operating Holding Account (MOHA)<\/strong>. With the introduction of new emissions compliance regulations, the MOHA is designed to streamline compliance procedures, allowing for easier emissions monitoring, allowance transfers, and a direct boost to CII ratings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>To increase the appeal of our third-party ship management services in the region<\/strong>, we have introduced multiple pricing tiers. Our management fees are now competitively positioned, falling between 30% and 60% below the average market price. This dynamic pricing approach aligns with our vision: to cater to our clients' needs according to their specific strategies, ensuring sustainable results are consistently achieved.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>While we are slightly behind schedule regarding our regional expansion plan<\/strong>, I remain extremely optimistic about 2026. We are currently in the process of securing ten new vessels under management, ranging from container vessels to offshore units. Our core strategy remains clear: to build a sustainable operating model that comprehensively addresses the technical and commercial needs of shipowners for the entirety of each vessel's working cycle.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">Youssef El Akkad<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">Managing Director, AK-Ships <\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/tag\/a-message-from-ak-ships\/\">A MESSAGE FROM AK-SHIPS<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/tag\/egypt\/\">Egypt<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/tag\/shipping-maritime\/\">SHIPPING + MARITIME<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/tag\/trade\/\">trade<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"89645\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"89645\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">5<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Moves<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/2025\/10\/16\/talabat-taps-toon-gyssels-as-new-ceo\/\">\r\n                            Talabat taps Toon Gyssels as new CEO                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/2025\/10\/16\/talabat-taps-toon-gyssels-as-new-ceo\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();
