Today, Saudi ports are entering a crucial stage of transforming into automated Smart Ports by adopting the technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution with their advanced applications besides relying on AI technology, IoT and technologies of  5G.

…the President of Saudi Ports Authority, Mr. Omar bin Talal Hariri, said during his speech at the launch ceremony of the initiative, adding also that “The aim is to raise the efficiency of the operational performance of Saudi port network and develop the marine transport system in order to enhance the Kingdom’s presence on the global logistics services map”.

It is worth mentioning that the local ports play a key role in achieving the goals of the Saudi Vision 2030 to increase the gross domestic product share of non-oil exports from 16% to 50%, especially since the ports account for more than 90% of the Saudi export movement.
