MV Bahri Jeddah makes maiden calls at Ennore and Chennai ports
Saudi Arabia’s Bahri has reached a new milestone in its efforts aimed at expanding market footprint and enhancing connectivity with the company’s MV Bahri Jeddah making its maiden call at two of India’s leading ports.
The RoCon vessel arrived for the first time at the Kamarajar Port at Ennore and the Chennai International Terminal at Chennai Port in late December 2019.
Owned and operated by Bahri Logistics, one of Bahri’s five business units, MV Bahri Jeddah will call regularly at Ennore and on an inducement basis at Chennai, offering direct call from South India to US East Coast.
The business unit operates six multipurpose vessels on a regular liner schedule, all uniquely designed to carry project, breakbulk, container and IMO cargoes as well as heavy lifts, special purpose vehicles, and mining equipment in a single voyage.
A ceremony was held on board the vessel to mark this achievement in the presence of officials from Kamarajar Port Trust, MV Bahri Jeddah, and Transmarine Cargo Services, which represents Bahri Logistics in South India in its capacity as a shipping agent.
“With the new port calls, we are strategically positioned to offer our industry-leading logistics and transportation solutions to a wider customer base across the world,” observed Abdullah Aldubaikhi, CEO, Bahri.
One of the top 10 breakbulk carriers in the world, Bahri Logistics has been present in India since 2000. Bahri has firmly established itself as a prominent player in the country’s maritime sector,
