Geneva - 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. The venture starts from September 2023.

This inclusion of NEOM as an additional regional port reinforces MSC’s commitment to enhance cargo movement across Saudi Arabia and supports the Kingdom’s vision to transform the country into a knowledge-based economy and a global leader by 2030.

The strategic location of the port of NEOM in Oxagon on Red Sea coast is considered one of the busiest trade routes in the world. Moreover, it provides access to international markets including Asia, Europe, North America, and Africa.

MSC’s customers will also 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 becoming a global trade hub as well as demonstrating MSC’s ongoing commitment to the Saudi market. The new logistics hub will offer MSC customers tailor-made solutions to ensure that people have access to the essential goods they need to thrive.” said by Hisham Alansari – MSC Saudi CEO.
