King Abdulaziz Port of Saudi will be connected with India-Iraq

 


Saudi Arabia on Tuesday announced the addition of King Abdulaziz Port to the newly launched India-Saudi-Iraq shipping service. Saudi Ports Authority Mawani said the service will be operated by Singapore-based feeder operator Bengal Tiger Line.


The ISI service will connect Dammam's King Abdulaziz port with India's Mundra port and Iraq's Umm Qasr via a 929-TEU vessel, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) said.

The new addition aims to provide best-in-class services to importers and exporters and empower them with maritime connectivity, enabling the country to establish itself as the world's leading logistics destination.


Meanwhile, a total of five cargo services linking Saudi to 43 global hubs were listed in January at Jeddah Islamic Port, King Abdulaziz Port and Jubail Commercial Port.


The "world-class" commercial hub overlooking the Arabian Gulf was ranked fourteenth in the World Bank's Container Port Performance Index for 2021, SPA said. Because it is spread over 19 square kilometers with integrated supply capacity.

Incidentally, last year DP World, one of the world's largest port operators, and the Saudi Port Authority signed an agreement to build a 'port-centric' logistics park at Jeddah Islamic Port with a total investment of more than USD 133.33 million. DP World signed a new concession agreement with Mawani in 2020 to operate and maintain the South Container Terminal at Jeddah Islamic Port for the next 30 years.

Diplomatic conflict in India amid Ukraine war

  The Ukraine war dominates the G20 foreign ministers' summit in New Delhi. Despite Prime Minister Modi's call for unity, tensions between the Western world and Russia show no signs of easing. Russia is desperately trying to capture the city of Bakhmut in an attempt to control eastern Ukraine. Despite heavy attacks, the Ukrainian army continues to resist. But whether it will be possible to withstand that pressure indefinitely, there are doubts within Ukraine. Member of Parliament of that country Sirhi Rakhmanin said that for now the aim is to harm the Russian forces as much as possible. According to him, either there is an organized retreat, or the struggle must continue. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his troops were in control of every sector of the battlefield. It should be noted that the conflict for the control of Bakhmut city has been going on for the last seven months. Ukraine is gaining prominence in the diplomatic arena as well as on the battlefield.
