Jeddah wins infrastructure award
The Saudi Ports Authority (Mawani), represented by the Jeddah Islamic Port, has won the Advanced Port Infrastructure Award at the Landmarks in Logistics Awards 2023.
The port has undergone significant expansion projects and developmental concessions worth nearly 9 billion riyals (€2.27 billion) to enhance its infrastructure, improve operational capability and helping cement Saudi Arabia as a global logistics hub, says Mawani.
The award also recognises the port’s ‘Smart Ports Initiative’ which aims to automate processes through the use of 5G technologies.
This latest recognition adds to Jeddah Islamic Port’s growing list of accolades, including ‘Port of the Year’ at the Logistics and Transport Awards in the UAE in September 2023, and the ‘Best Port’ award from the International Green Shipping Summit, held in the Netherlands in February 2023.
Jeddah Islamic Port is strategically positioned along the East-West trade route, serving as a link between Europe, Asia, and Africa.
Held in the United Arab Emirates, the ‘Landmarks in Logistics’ awards are organised by ‘Logistics Gulf News’, a media platform specialising in the logistics services sector in the Arab Gulf region.
