A stronger supply chain requires a delicate balance of resilience and efficiency. That’s exactly what DP World Logistics is focusing on with an $800 million expansion at Jeddah Terminal, doubling its capacity to 4 million TEUs.
In just three years, the terminal has undergone a technological transformation. AI-powered automation, IoT-enabled cargo tracking, and Smart Gate Systems have drastically reduced truck turnaround times from one minute to just ten seconds. The enhancements don’t stop at speed—sustainability is also a key focus. Expanded cold storage and reefer capacity are being introduced to support the growing demand for perishable cargo.
At the heart of this development is Jeddah Logistics Park, an integrated facility covering 415,000 square meters—the largest of its kind in Saudi Arabia. Offering advanced warehousing, distribution, and freight forwarding services, the park further cements Jeddah’s status as a key regional trade hub.
For shippers and logistics providers, these upgrades mean a supply chain that’s not just faster but also more reliable. With efficiency gains driven by automation and data-driven logistics, customers can expect smoother operations that meet the demands of an increasingly interconnected global market.
Jeddah’s strategic location on the Red Sea already makes it a vital node in global trade, and this expansion positions it as an even more critical player. With the ongoing investment in infrastructure and digitalization, DP World Logistics is ensuring that supply chains remain agile, responsive, and future-ready.
