Saudi Arabia Ports & Maritime: Mawani Vision 2030

Saudi Arabia’s port infrastructure serves as the critical gateway for a Kingdom that imports the vast majority of its consumer goods, food, and manufactured products while exporting petrochemical products, minerals, and increasingly, non-oil goods. The Saudi Ports Authority (Mawani) oversees a network of nine commercial ports that collectively handle over 300 million tonnes of cargo annually. Under Vision 2030, the ports sector is being transformed through privatisation, capacity expansion, technology modernisation, and strategic positioning as a regional logistics hub connecting Asia, Europe, and Africa.
