Saudi Arabia's Ports Authority (Mawani) has launched a new shipping service connecting Jeddah Islamic Port with Mundra Port in India and the Port of Djibouti, as reported by Dubai's Gulf News.

The service, operated by Emirates Shipping Line, has a carrying capacity of up to 2,144 TEU. Mawani stated that the route will enhance supply chain efficiency and facilitate trade flows across the Red Sea, one of the world's busiest maritime corridors.

This initiative is part of Mawani's strategy to strengthen Saudi Arabia's position in global logistics and improve transport performance indicators. It also supports the growth of national exports by enhancing connectivity with key regional ports.

The new service aligns with the objectives of the National Transport and Logistics Strategy, which aims to establish the Kingdom as a global logistics hub linking Asia, Africa, and Europe.
