The service is operated by Singapore-based feeder operator Bengal Tiger Line.
The Saudi Ports Authority (Mawani) has added King Abdulaziz Port to a newly-launched India-Saudi-Iraq (ISI) shipping service by Singapore-based feeder operator Bengal Tiger Line (BTL).
The ISI service links the Dammam-based hub to the Indian port of Mundra and the Iraqi port of Umm Qasr aboard a 929-TEU vessel.
The addition of the new regional route will further strengthen the Kingdom’s maritime connectivity, besides helping in its quest to establish itself as the world’s leading logistics destination.
A total of five cargo services linking Saudi Arabia to 43 global hubs were added to the rosters of Jeddah Islamic Port, King Abdulaziz Port, and Jubail Commercial Port during January 2023.
With state-of-the-art infrastructure spanning 19 sq. km. alongside a host of integrated logistics capabilities, the world-class trade hub overlooking the Arabian Gulf was ranked fourteenth in the World Bank’s Container Port Performance Index for 2021.
