Mawani said the investments added 200,000 square meters to container terminal areas, boosting the port’s operational capacity.
Saudi Ports Authority (Mawani) said it invested a total of SAR 641 million at Jeddah Islamic Port over the past three months. 
In a post on X, the authority said the investments included strengthening port operations by adding three ship-to-shore (STS) cranes, 27 rubber-tyred gantry (RTG) cranes, 91 terminal trucks, and seven ground-handling units.
The expansion also added 200,000 square meters to container terminal areas, boosting the port’s operational capacity, increasing container-handling efficiency, and improving the flow of operations.
Mawani said the investments also enhanced refrigerated cargo-handling capabilities by increasing reefer plug points from 4,800 to 9,000 and expanding cold storage facilities from eight to 75 cold rooms. The upgrades are expected to support growing refrigerated cargo volumes, improve handling efficiency, and enhance the quality of logistics services provided to customers.
The investments are part of Mawani’s ongoing efforts to develop Saudi Arabia’s port sector, strengthen private-sector partnerships, improve operational efficiency, and enhance supply chain resilience.
The projects support the objectives of the National Transport and Logistics Strategy and reinforce the Kingdom’s position as a global logistics hub, in partnership with Red Sea Gateway Terminal (RSGT) and DP World, in line with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030.
