Riyadh – Mubasher: Saudi Arabia Railways (SAR) has launched five new logistics routes to boost supply chain efficiency and integrate various transport modes, according to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA).
The newly launched routes will link Arabian Gulf ports with the Kingdom’s central and northern regions, extending to the Red Sea and northern neighboring countries.
The initiative supports the National Transport and Logistics Strategy and Saudi Vision 2030 goals to establish the Kingdom as a global logistics hub.
The new routes, managed through an integrated system that includes the Riyadh Dry Port and key cargo yards in Dammam, Jubail, Ras Al Khair, Al Kharj, Hail, and Al Qurayyat, make it easier to transport petrochemicals and minerals.
This infrastructure connects local industrial centers directly to global shipping lines, reducing transit times and enhancing operational reliability for major industrial and mining sectors.
CEO Bashar Al Malik pointed out that these routes will remove thousands of trucks from the roads, improving safety and reducing carbon emissions.
Al Malik added that the expansion anchors Saudi Arabia's role as a vital logistical corridor linking East and West, ensuring the smooth flow of international trade even amidst rapid global supply chain shifts.
