APM Terminals has acquired a 37.5% stake in the container terminal operated by DP World at Jeddah Islamic Port, strengthening its footprint in Saudi Arabia’s key maritime gateway.
The strategic investment is aimed at enhancing collaboration between the two global terminal operators and supporting the expansion of port capacity and operational efficiency at Jeddah. The facility plays a crucial role in handling containerized cargo for the Red Sea region and facilitating trade flows into the Kingdom.
Industry analysts view the stake acquisition as part of broader efforts to deepen partnerships, optimize terminal operations, and capitalize on growing trade volumes linked to Saudi Arabia’s economic diversification initiatives.
The transaction underscores continued investor confidence in the Middle East’s port sector and the importance of Jeddah Islamic Port as a major hub for regional and international shipping lines.
