MSC Elevates Cargo and Logistics Operations in Saudi Arabia
From September, MSC will expand its regional port range to include the Port of NEOM. As well as offering ocean freight services, customers will be able to benefit from inland transport solutions provided by MSC’s logistics arm, MEDLOG.
This inclusion of NEOM as an additional regional port reinforces MSC’s commitment to enhance cargo movement across Saudi Arabia and supports the Kingdom’s vision to transform the country into a knowledge-based economy and a global leader by 2030.
The strategic location of the port of NEOM in Oxagon on Red Sea coast is considered one of the busiest trade routes in the world. Moreover, it provides access to international markets including Asia, Europe, North America, and Africa.
MSC’s customers will also benefit from the port’s future investment into cutting-edge maritime and logistics innovations including fully automated management systems to expedite vessel management and streamline logistics operations.
“This exciting development is a significant step towards the Kingdom becoming a global trade hub as well as demonstrating MSC’s ongoing commitment to the Saudi market. Our presence at the Port of NEOM will offer MSC customers tailor-made solutions and access to these thriving markets” said Hisham Alansari – MSC Saudi CEO.
