Saudi Arabia’s maritime and logistics sector is set to provide a host of fresh investment opportunities that will enable the Kingdom’s integration into the regional and global economies as a hub connecting three continents – Asia, Europe and Africa, and positioning the country as a global logistics hub.
The 2nd Saudi Maritime Congress held on March 11th and 12th at the Four Seasons Hotel Riyadh at Kingdom Center, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, will bring together leading figures from the shipping industry to discuss the effect the ambitious Vision 2030 programme will have on the Saudi economy and how shipping and logistics sectors will contribute to this project.
Held under the patronage of Saudi Ports Authority (Mawani) and in partnership with Bahri, Saudi Maritime Congress will bring together leaders from the Kingdom’s shipping, ports, ship construction and offshore marine companies, as well as their international partners, to learn, network and explore new opportunities.
Abdullah Aldubaikhi, CEO of Bahri, said: “Bahri is proud to be working in partnership with the 2nd Saudi Maritime Congress – a strategic meeting point of the region’s leading logistics and shipping industry decision-makers and experts.
We would like to emphasize the importance of this event to us, which has established itself as one of the most important highlights of the maritime industry calendar. The Congress offers a valuable platform to discuss the latest developments and trends in the shipping industry and highlights Saudi Arabia’s milestones in its evolution as a leading maritime hub in the world.
At Bahri, we are delighted to be reinforcing our commitment to connecting economies and future-proofing the maritime industry through our partnership with Saudi Maritime Congress and look forward to you joining us in March to drive forward the goals of Vision 2030.”
Chris Hayman, Chairman of Seatrade, said: “The Saudi Maritime Congress will showcase promising business opportunities to attendees, particularly in the shipping and logistics sector. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a fantastic place for business investment and, having diversified itself into many non-oil businesses, the country offers a great environment for new businesses to evolve.”
