The Ministry of Transport and Logistics that the land transport system relies on a huge fleet of 500,000 trucks operating with high efficiency.
This strategic step aims to ensure the continuity of transport services and to meet the growing demand at the local and regional levels.
The new procedures revealed the activation of the sea-air logistics route through the ports of the west coast to ensure the continued flow of shipments. This route involves precise stages, beginning with the arrival of containers at the ports, followed by processing and direct transfer to international airports.
Specialized air cargo facilities handle and process these shipments according to the highest international standards before they are flown to their final destinations. This integration between ports and airports reflects the efficiency of the Kingdom's logistics infrastructure.
In a related context, the Knowledge and Beneficiary Services Center has been dedicated to providing advisory and operational support via the unified number 199003. This center raises the slogan of more efficient communication for globally competitive ports, making it easier for investors and traders to track their shipments.
These developments are the result of high-level collaboration between the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Transport and Logistics, the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority, the General Authority of Civil Aviation, the Transport Authority, the Ports Authority, and the Federation of Saudi Chambers. This institutional synergy underscores the Kingdom's progress towards becoming a global logistics hub connecting three continents.
