Transshipment containers handled by Saudi ports rose 8.22 per cent in November to 162,252 TEU, reported Jeddah's Saudi Gazette.
The increase came despite a 2.97 per cent decline in total handled containers, which fell to 649,286 TEU compared with 669,174 TEU in November 2024, according to the Saudi Ports Authority (Mawani).
Mawani said overall cargo volumes grew slightly by 0.21 per cent to 17.82 million tons. This included 1.19 million tons of general cargo, 4.02 million tons of dry bulk, and 12.61 million tons of liquid bulk.
Imported containers dropped 6.83 per cent to 241,494 TEU, while exported containers fell 5.58 per cent to 245,540 TEU.
Maritime traffic rose 6.81 per cent to 1,020 vessels. Passenger numbers surged 70.01 per cent to 112,927, while vehicle volumes declined 22.68 per cent to 77,134. Saudi ports also received 722,140 cattle heads, up 0.78 per cent year over year.
Mawani said the improvements support economic activity, tourism, marine services and supply chains, while reinforcing food security goals under the National Transport and Logistics Strategy.
In October, Mawani ports recorded a 12.19 per cent increase in total handled containers, reaching 709,393 TEU compared with 632,323 TEU in the same month last year.
