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.

Oman LNG on Tuesday announced the successful loading of its first liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargo to Shell under its new long-term agreements, marking a significant milestone in the company’s strategy to expand its global market reach and reinforce Oman’s position as a leading LNG supplier.
According to Oman News Agency, the ceremonial event took place at Oman LNG’s state-of-the-art facility in Sur, under the auspices of Salim al Aufi, Minister of Energy and Minerals, alongside senior officials from Oman LNG and Shell.
Aufi, in his remarks, emphasized the importance of this milestone, saying, “Today’s shipment is not merely a delivery but a testament to Oman’s commitment to energy security, global collaboration, and sustainable economic growth. It also reflects the strong partnership between Oman LNG and Shell, built on mutual trust and a shared vision.”

Shell, as the largest offtaker under these new agreements, plays a pivotal role in Oman LNG’s strategic plans for sustained growth and market expansion.

Oman LNG’s CEO, Hamad al Naamany, highlighted the significance of this shipment, saying, “We are embarking on a 10-year concession extension with market leaders in LNG and energy. Our growth is aligned with Oman’s vision and adapted to the evolving global energy market demands.
