EFS LOGISTICS SAUDI ARABIA’s Post

EFS Logistics managed a challenging shipment of 2 inflatable boats from the USA to Aqaba, Jordan, originally planned for direct sailing but rerouted to Dammam Port, Saudi Arabia, due to regional instability. They swiftly arranged overland transit to Aqaba, ensuring timely delivery despite unexpected logistical adjustments. Despite the initial disruption of the planned RORO service, EFS Logistics adapted quickly, coordinating with stakeholders and efficiently managing customs at Dammam Port. They ensured strict adherence to safety protocols during overland transport, delivering the boats securely and on schedule to Aqaba Port. This project demonstrates EFS Logistics' capability to navigate challenges and deliver effective solutions in complex logistical scenarios, reaffirming their commitment to client satisfaction and operational excellence. #transitshipment #LogisticsExperts #efslogistics #logisticsmanagement #eventlogistics #logistics

Mar 21, 2024 /MiddleEastEconomy /Elias Al Helou --An agreement has been signed between the Saudi #Ports Authority and #MEDLOG to establish an integrated #logistics zone in Jeddah. This collaboration between the government agency, Mawani, and the logistics division of the Mediterranean Shipping Co. will result in the development of the zone, which is estimated to have an investment value of up to SAR175 million ($46.66 million). According to a statement, the project encompasses a site that offers comprehensive services for container maintenance and inspection. It is expected to create 400 job opportunities, both directly and indirectly, and provide training for national staff in the logistics services sector. The integrated logistics zone in Jeddah will not only enhance the efficiency of operations and facilitate robust supply chains but also prioritize the safety of the port environment by incorporating alternative energy sources to reduce carbon emissions. This initiative aligns with the goals of the National Transport and Logistics Strategy, which aims to position Saudi Arabia as a global center for supply chain management and a strategic hub connecting three continents. Furthermore, the project will elevate the level of logistical services on the Red Sea coast and cater to the needs of beneficiaries, meeting the demands of the local market with advanced operational capabilities for transporting and handling goods. New logistics zone in Dammam In a similar vein, King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam is also set to receive an integrated logistics zone, with Mawani and MEDLOG commencing construction by laying the foundation stone. This endeavor, valued at over SAR150 million, reflects Mawani’s commitment to developing a sustainable and prosperous maritime sector. Moreover, the new logistics zone in Dammam will span an area exceeding 100,000 square meters and have a capacity to handle 300,000 containers annually. Saudi Arabia’s dedication to improving its logistics infrastructure has yielded positive results, as evidenced by its significant progress in the World Bank’s Logistics Performance Index. In 2023, the country climbed 17 places to secure the 38th position, a testament to its sustained efforts in this domain. Image Source | (©12019 | pixabay)

How Red Sea issue affect Jebel Ali and other Middle east ports? Couple of months ago there is a missile attack on a container vessel while surpassing red sea For the safety reasons most of the vessels rerouted their vessels Via cape of good hope eventually it’s a long journey but it is the only hope for international trade especially from Europe to Asia Furthermore, it’s a good measure, but where the problem begins is since all the carriers decides to discharge their Jeddah cargo in Dammam for various reasons may be inland movement or to convince their customers etc. this may lead to a huge port congestion in Dammam. But in logistics logisticians keep on seeking for solutions they found it also Instead of discharging their cargoes in Dammam and reduce the vessel calls in Dammam most of the carriers decided to discharge all the Dammam and Jeddah cargoes in Jebel Ali and transhipped using a single vessel to Dammam .Since Jebel Ali is the largest port in middle east and having frequent vessel connections moreover it act as a hub for all middle east ports and this caused a huge port congestion in jebel Ali not only berth congestion but also shortage of storage, affects loading /discharging rate, stevedores productivity and much more and customers can’t be able to deliver the goods to port this is also another reason for delay. Hope we find an alternative solution for this as well as Regards Abijith #internationaltrade #redsea #jebelali #middleastportcongestion #dammam

🚢 Navigating the Red Sea Crisis: Saudi Arabia's Logistics Landscape Over the past six months, the Red Sea crisis has significantly shifted Saudi Arabia’s logistics focus from Jeddah to the Eastern Province (Dammam and Jubail). This change has brought about several key impacts: 📈 Increased Truck Demand: High demand for trucks transporting cargo between the East and West. 💸 Rising Costs: Trucking costs have surged, with rates from Dammam soaring from 2500 SAR to 8000 SAR. ⏳ Port Delays: Longer vessel waiting times at Dammam Port. 📦 Yard Congestion: Congested empty yards of shipping lines. 🚆 Rail Demand: High demand for rail connections between Dammam and Riyadh, leading to a backlog. Despite the challenges, the logistics industry has maintained a smooth flow of cargo into the Saudi market. Shipping lines introduced new services, including connections to India, Asia, and shuttle services to Europe. Some smaller NVOCCs continued to provide services to Jeddah port, albeit at high prices, comparable to the extra transport fees from Dammam. 🔍 Key Takeaway: This situation underscores the urgent need to expedite rail projects connecting the East and West to reduce truck pressure and lower carbon emissions. Improving land transportation infrastructure is crucial for the resilience and sustainability of Saudi Arabia’s logistics industry. #Logistics #SupplyChain #RedSeaCrisis #SaudiArabia #Transportation #RailProjects #Sustainability
