The Saudi Ports Authority, known as "Mawani," has announced that Emirates Shipping Line (ESL) has introduced a new shipping service named "GALEX" to King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam.
This service strengthens maritime connections between Saudi Arabia and East Asia, affirming the port's operational efficiency, the Saudi Press Agency said on Monday.
This development underscores the accomplishments of King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam, showcasing advanced operational standards and robust logistical capabilities.
These attributes attract large vessels and major global shipping lines, aligning with the goals of the National Transport and Logistics Strategy (NTLS) to position the Kingdom as a pivotal global logistics hub spanning three continents.
The new shipping service will link King Abdul Aziz Port in Dammam to eight regional and international ports, including Shanghai, Xiamen, Dachan Bay, and Qingdao in China; Busan in Korea; Klang in Malaysia; Sohar in Oman; and Khorfakkan in the UAE.
It will operate weekly trips with a capacity of up to 3,000 TEUs. Notably, the partnerships established by Mawani with major global shipping lines contribute to the development of the kingdom’s ports, enhancing competitiveness, infrastructure, maritime transport routes, and operational efficiency.

Syria will receive two electricity-generating ships from Türkiye and Qatar to boost energy supplies hit by damage to infrastructure during President Bashar al-Assad's rule, state news agency SANA quoted an official as saying on Tuesday.
Khaled Abu Dai, director general of the General Establishment for Electricity Transmission and Distribution, told SANA the ships would provide a total of 800 megawatts of electricity but did not say over what period.
"The extent of damage to the generation and transformation stations and electrical connection lines during the period of the former regime is very large, we are seeking to rehabilitate (them) in order to transmit energy,” Abu Dai said.
According to Reuters, he did not say when Syria would receive the two ships.
The United States on Monday issued a sanctions exemption for transactions with governing institutions in Syria for six months after the end of Assad's rule to try to increase the flow of humanitarian assistance.
The exemption allows some energy transactions and personal remittances to Syria until July 7. The action did not remove any sanctions.
Syria suffers from severe power shortages, with state-supplied electricity available just two or three hours a day in most areas. The caretaker government says it aims within two months to provide electricity up to eight hours a day.
