Jeddah Islamic Port is Kingdom’s largest seaport, handling approximately 50% of the all containerized volume of the country. As per the MOU, RSGT will consolidate the container facilities in northern part of Jeddah port and execute a comprehensive development plan upgrading and adding berth capacity, while modernizing yard and all support facilities, including RSGT’s existing terminal. This will create a world-class facility capable of serving the important local market, while also catering for the growing regional transshipment trade in line with key Vision 2030 objective of making the Kingdom a key logistics player in the region.

RSGT is the first container terminal in the Kingdom built by the private sector under a build, operate, and transfer (BOT) agreement at a cost of more than SAR 2 billion and has a capacity of 2.5 million TEUs. It is the only terminal at Jeddah Islamic Port capable of fully accommodating Ultra-Large Container Ships (ULCS) of 14,000+ TEU capacity and is consistently rated as one of the best performing terminals globally. In 2018, RSGT volumes grew by more than 16% as compared to 2017.
