The addition comes in the framework of Mawani's efforts to enhance the competitiveness of the Kingdom's ports, aligning with the objectives of the National Transport and Logistics Strategy to consolidate Saudi Arabia's position as a global logistics hub linking the three continents of Europe, Asia, and Africa.
