Saudi Arabia\u2019s <\/strong>Sharqia Development Authority is set to build an 8 mn sqm regional <\/strong>logistics hub in Dammam Port,<\/strong> dubbed Dammam Regional Logistics Center (RLC), its CEO Omar Alabduallatif told Argaam<\/a>. No further details regarding the investment ticket or the project\u2019s timeline were disclosed, however Alabduallaif referred to a \u201crapid implementation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Details:<\/strong> The hub will be located near King Abdulaziz Port, King Fahd International Airport, and a network of highways. It is set to include a dry port, a logistics services area, and a direct connection to the nation\u2019s railways, Alabduallatif said. Dammam\u2019s RLC is projected to cover 55% of Dammam\u2019s total logistics activities and will also mediate trade with GCC partners via close links to three major airports and four commercial ports, he added.<\/p>\n

The capital of the Eastern Province is well-placed:<\/strong> \u201cNearly 37% of the Kingdom\u2019s imports come through the Eastern Province\u2019s ports, topped by King Abdulaziz Port with 25%. In addition, King Fahd Airport accounts for 24% of the Kingdom's total air freight business,\u201d the CEO said.<\/p>\n

The larger picture:<\/strong> Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman unveiled last<\/a>year a master plan for logistics centers<\/a> to transform the Kingdom into a \u201cglobal logistics hub.\u201d The plan could see 59 centers across the country spanning a total of 100 mn sqm, with 17 centers earmarked for the Eastern Province.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
