Dubai Ports World and Saudi Ports Authority (Mawani) have come together to expand the capacity of Jeddah Islamic Port.
The  work will be carried out in four phases, with the project scheduled to be completed by 2024.
It includes improvements that will enable the terminal to serve five ships simultaneously and deal with the largest container ships operating today and in the future, with a load of up to 26,000 TEUs.
This project is part of the new commercial attribution contract that Mawani signed with DP World in December 2019 for a period of thirty years.
The project will contribute to transforming Jeddah into a major international trade and logistics center.
