The Minister of Transport and Logistics Services, and Chairman of the Saudi Ports Authority (MAWANI), Saleh Al-Jasser, inaugurated Abyat’s new regional logistics center at King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam, which spans over an area of more than 110,000 square meters, with an investment value exceeding SAR 100 million.
According to a statement by MAWANI, Abyat’s CEO Mohammed Khaled Abl explained that the project includes an integrated customs-bonded zone covering 40,000 square meters, which is designated for storing goods under customs supervision. He noted that Abyat is among the first companies to receive a license to establish and operate such zones.
The facility also includes two main warehouses, integrated storage yards, automated racking systems, and solar power capabilities.
The customs-bonded zone will enable Abyat to accelerate customs clearance procedures, improve cargo flow efficiency, reduce shipment transit times, and lower operating costs through cargo consolidation and managing storage phases prior to distribution. It will also support logistics operations in the Kingdom and the Gulf region, said the CEO.
He stated that the company continues its expansion plan in the Kingdom, with total investments exceeding SAR 3.5 billion, and has achieved an annual growth rate of 23%.
The top executive also noted that Abyat provides building and finishing materials and operates its own manufacturing facilities covering 120,000 square meters, in cooperation with MODON and the Saudi Industrial Development Fund, allowing its products to carry the “Made in Saudi Arabia” label.
