Seamless and efficient trans-shipment is a major advantage for cargo consignments in the Kingdom and the region
LogiPoint established the first bonded corridor connecting the Bonded and Re-Export Zone at Jeddah Islamic Port and King Abdulaziz International Airport (Jeddah) to facilitate the multimodal movement of cargo.
The trial was conducted on a shipment that arrived by sea freight to LogiPoint Bonded and Re-Export Zone at Jeddah Islamic Port then shipped onward to its final destination in the Netherlands by airfreight through King Abdulaziz International Airport.
With the support of other multiple stakeholders such as Saudi Customs and Jeddah Islamic Port and in line with ‘Vision 2030’ and the ‘National Industrial Development and Logistics Programme’ (NIDLP), the success of this shipment increases the competitiveness of the region, it was revealed.
It creates an efficient and cost-effective sea-air and air-sea link to establish Jeddah as a preferred multi-modal transshipment hub.
“The bonded corridor facilitates trade for customers by providing a multimodal bonded access to regional target markets combining sea, land and air freight. It also gives Jeddah a significant advantage to compete in the transshipment cargo segment,” affirmed Farooq Shaikh, CEO, LogiPoint.
LogiPoint is making continued and dynamic efforts to introduce international concepts and solutions towards enhancing logistics efficiency to attract foreign investors. Its strategic location and the world-class facilities have fortified the position of Jeddah Islamic Port as a major and premier logistics hub.
