MSC, in collaboration with its logistics arm MEDLOG, is establishing a shipping and logistics hub incorporating vessels, container yards, warehousing and inland transportation at the Port of Neom in Saudi Arabia.
The project is going to start in the next month.
The strategic location of the port of Neom in Oxagon on the Red Sea coast is considered one of the most important trade routes in the world, as it provides access to international markets including Asia, Europe, North America and Africa.
According to MSC, their customers will benefit from the port’s future investment into cutting-edge maritime and logistics innovations including fully automated management systems to expedite vessel management and streamline logistics operations.
“This exciting venture is a significant step towards the Kingdom [Saudi Arabia] becoming a global trade hub as well as demonstrating MSC’s ongoing commitment to the Saudi market,” stated Hisham Alansari, MSC Saudi CEO.
