Saudi Global Ports Group celebrated a landmark moment in Saudi Arabia’s logistics development with the official inauguration of the Terminal 2 Berth Expansion under SGP Container Terminals and the groundbreaking of the Dammam Integrated Logistics Zone at King Abdulaziz Port Dammam.
Both milestones strengthen SGP’s mission to advance the Kingdom’s position as a global logistics hub.
The event was further distinguished by the attendance of senior representatives from key Saudi governmental authorities including the Saudi Ports Authority and the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority as well as senior leaders from major logistics companies and shipping lines.
Adjacent to KAPD, the Dammam Integrated Logistics Zone will provide modular warehousing, cold chain and vehicle storage facilities, re-export and light manufacturing zones, as well as dedicated areas for petrochemical products, e-commerce storage, and container handling within an eco-friendly, integrated system.
Linked directly to SGP Container Terminals, SGP Multipurpose Terminals, and SGP Intermodal, the logistics zone will deliver an integrated trade solution connecting sea, land, and industrial logistics for domestic and international customers.
The Terminal 2 expansion adds 225 meters to the existing 700 meters of quay length, allowing two mega container vessels to berth simultaneously and significantly improving operational capabilities.
Combined with Terminal 1, the consolidated handling capacity will rise to 3.8 million TEUs in 2025, reinforcing KAPD’s position as a key maritime gateway on the Arabian Gulf.
Chairman of the Board of Saudi Global Ports Company, Eng. Abdullah Al Zamil, stated that the expansion of Terminal 2 and launch of SGP Freezones reflects SGP’s commitment to be future-ready and deliver the world-class infrastructure that strengthens the Kingdom’s logistics competitiveness.
Rob Harrison, Chief Executive Officer of Saudi Global Ports Group, commented that the inauguration of Terminal 2 and the groundbreaking of the Dammam Integrated Logistics Zone reflect the belief in Saudi Arabia’s trade potential and our commitment to meeting the growing demand.
