Move to strengthen trade efficiency
Bahri Logistics has announced the launch of the “Bahri Bonded Zone” at Jeddah Islamic Port, under the patronage of HE Eng. Saleh Al-Jasser, Minister of Transport and Logistics Services and in collaboration with the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) and the Saudi Ports Authority (Mawani).
The zone is Bahri’s first integrated logistics facility of its kind and offers a range of distinctive logistics solutions and capabilities aligned with the Kingdom’s ambition to strengthen its position as a global logistics hub equipped to attract cargo flows and facilitate trade and supply chains.
The facility also benefits from its strategic location at Jeddah Islamic Port, along a major trade corridor through the Red Sea, which carries approximately 30% of global container traffic. This enhances its ability to support trade flows between Asia, Europe, and regional markets.
Strategic location
Strategically located within one of the region’s busiest and most active ports, the Bahri Bonded Zone provides businesses with direct access to major international shipping routes and helps reduce lead times to markets across Saudi Arabia, the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, and East Africa.
The zone includes advanced temperature-controlled storage environments for ambient, chilled, and frozen goods, alongside a comprehensive range of value-added services, including cross-docking, sorting, labelling, co-packing, and repackaging.
“This will strengthen their competitiveness and enhance their ability to access local, regional, and global markets,” remarked Eng. Ahmed Alsubaey, Chief Executive Officer, Bahri.
“Bahri Bonded Zone spans more than 95,000sqm and provides a storage capacity of over 80,000 pallet positions, with the capability to handle more than one million pallets annually,” added Soror Basalom, President, Bahri Logistics.
