Saudi Global Ports begins operations at Jubail Container Terminal (JCT)

Earlier this month, Saudi Global Ports Group (SGP) announced it has begun operations at the Jubail Container Terminal (JCT) at Jubail Commercial Port under a long-term privatisation agreement with the Saudi Ports Authority (Mawani), spanning 30 years.

This milestone supports the continued development of the Kingdom’s logistics

infrastructure and contributes to enhancing supply chain efficiency and connectivity

in line with Saudi Vision 2030.

Jubail Commercial Port serves as a key export hub for the Kingdom. The integration

of JCT into SGP’s existing network across the Eastern Coast enables improved

operational alignment, capacity utilisation, and more flexible supply chain solutions

for customers.

Under the agreement, SGP will invest SAR 2 billion over the concession period to

upgrade infrastructure and deploy advanced equipment, supporting the terminal’s

long-term operational capabilities and ability to accommodate larger vessels.

The addition of JCT to SGP’s ecosystem strengthens connectivity between ports,

inland logistics facilities and supply chain ecosystems, supporting more efficient

cargo flows and reinforcing the resilience of supply chains across the Kingdom
