Saudi Ports Authority awards operating license to Denmark’s Maersk

30/07/2019 Argaam

 

Saudi Ports Authority (Mawani) has issued a license to Maersk (Saudi Arabia), part of Denmark-headquartered Maersk International, to operate in all nine Saudi ports.

This new shipping license to Maersk is the fourth of its kind to be issued to foreign investors in the Kingdom, Saudi Press Agency reported.

Maersk joins other major lines such as Barwil, Hapag-Lloyd, and the Mediterranean Shipping Company, already operating.

“We have issued a license to Maersk (Saudi Arabia). This reflects our mutual confidence as container volume increases and Saudi Arabia expands as a regional logistics hub,” Saad Abdul Aziz Al-Khalb, president of Mawani, said.

 

“Our new positive business environment is attracting great interest from new investors and suppliers. This increases both our capacity and abilities to match marketplace demands to better serve both Saudi business owners, and international brands across the Kingdom,” Al-Khalb said.
