Mawani (Saudi Ports Authority)
Mawani (the Saudi Ports Authority) regulates, develops and oversees the Kingdom's commercial ports — including Jeddah Islamic Port and King Abdulaziz Port at Dammam on the two coasts, plus Jubail, Yanbu and others. It sets port policy, awards and manages terminal concessions, and drives the modernisation of Saudi ports.
Mawani is central to Saudi Arabia's ambition, under Vision 2030 and the National Transport and Logistics Strategy, to become a global logistics hub linking three continents. Its investments in capacity, automation and new shipping services shape how cargo moves through the Kingdom's gateways.
Mawani is the authority behind every Saudi port — so its concessions, tariffs and development plans shape capacity, service and cost across the Kingdom's gateways. For anyone shipping to or through Saudi Arabia, Mawani's decisions define the port landscape.
