Saudi Maritime Congress spotlight nation's shipping and logistics
THE Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is attracting attention from the shipping world as it aims to establish itself as a global maritime hub, reports the UK's Seatrade Maritime News.
The 4th edition of the Saudi Maritime Congress is scheduled to be held in Dammam from September 20 to 21.
During the event, the spotlight will be on the immense opportunities within this rapidly growing sector and the immense potential of maritime logistics.
Seatrade Maritime group director Chris Morley, the organiser of the event, stated that the progress made on maritime transport infrastructure is an integral part of a broader strategy aimed at developing the domestic ports and logistics sector.
The government's ambitious goal of making Saudi Arabia the leading regional logistics hub is expected to drive the rapid expansion of maritime logistics activities from 2023 to 2027.
The congress will offer a comprehensive and free-to-attend conference programme, delving deep into Vision2030 and its outlined objectives for the maritime and logistics sectors.
This event serves as a crucial platform for industry stakeholders to explore the vast potential of Saudi Arabia.
