Port Services:

Yanbu Commercial Port is the nearest major Saudi seaport to Europe and North America and is the focal point of the most rapidly growing area on the Red Sea. Traditionally it has served as the nearest gateway for seaborne pilgrims bound for the holy city of Madinah. Port expansion in 1979 increased the capacity to nine berths with modern facilities and equipment. It can handle in excess of 3 million tonnes of cargo per year.

Yanbu Commercial Port played a major role in development of many refineries and project plants by handling huge quantities of general cargo, project cargo, heavy lifts, containers and various construction material (including bulk cement / clinker) in the early years. Today export of bulk cement and clinker is handled at this port.

Millions of tons of bulk-barley is regularly handled at this port for onward distribution to various parts of the country. It also caters to the requirement of the Industrial city of Yanbu 20 kms south of this port through import handling of bulk Rutile, Petcoke, project cargo etc. As a major trading partner this port also contributes towards the social and economic development of the Yanbu community.

Ground to be broken on $660mn Saudi ports projects

by CW Staff on Feb 4, 2014

A ground-breaking ceremony for developmental projects worth a total of $660mn (SAR 2.1bn) at two ports in the Saudi Arabian city of Yanbu is set to take place on 6 February (Thursday).

King Fahad Industrial Port (Yanbu) and Yanbu Commercial Port are preparing to welcome Saudi Arabia’s Madinah Governor, Prince Faisal bin Salman, who is sponsoring the event.

Transport Minister Jabara Al-Seraisry told Arab News that the projects are part of the Ports Authority’s (PA) plans to improve the two ports in terms of operational capacity and support services.

The projects at King Fahad Industrial Port will add to the general cargo and container, bulk, crude oil, export refinery, petrochemicals, natural gas, and local refinery terminals already on offer at the facility.

Work at Yanbu Commercial Port is aiming to increase the facility’s current capacity of just over 3mn tonnes of cargo per year.

Meanwhile, Prince Faisal has also launched 22 projects in Badr Province, according to local media reports.

The projects, worth $64.8mn (SAR 243mn), cover the educational, municipal, water, and charity sectors.
