Mawani (The General Authority of Ports) has announced the launch of the “MRX” shipping service by Milaha at Jeddah Islamic Port. This addition strengthens maritime connectivity between Saudi Arabia and key international ports, including those in India, the UAE, Egypt, and Jordan.

This initiative aligns with Mawani’s strategy to enhance Saudi Arabia’s position on the maritime navigation network connectivity index, improve port efficiency, and bolster the Kingdom’s links to global markets. These efforts are part of the National Strategy for Transport and Logistics Services, which aims to establish Saudi Arabia as a global logistics hub connecting three continents.

The MRX service connects Jeddah Islamic Port with Mundra Port in India, Aqaba in Jordan, Ain Sokhna in Egypt, and Jebel Ali in the UAE. It offers a capacity of 2,500 standard containers per shipment.

Mawani’s collaborations with leading international shipping lines continue to enhance the competitiveness of Saudi ports, develop infrastructure, expand maritime transport routes, and streamline operational and logistical services.
