Jazan City for Primary and Downstream Industries (JCPDI) exported over 11,000 tons of pig iron through its port to Italy, SPA reported.

Pig iron is one of the quality products produced in the factory of the Advanced Smelting Industries Company in JCPDI, which uses state-of-the-art technologies to operate smelting furnaces that are the largest of their kind in the world.
This week, JCPDI also imported 30,000 tons of ilmenite from the Mozambique.

JCPDI's port is a crucial logistical center for trade exchange in the Kingdom, with advanced capabilities and technology in logistical transport services.
Its geographical location on the Red Sea and proximity to the Bab al-Mandab Strait and the countries of the Horn of Africa make it an ideal station for many opportunities in the fields of maritime transport, freight, and export business.

About 12% of current oil production and 6.04% of the current natural gas production in the Gulf of Mexico is shut-in due to storm Helene, the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement said in a statement on Saturday.

Authorities across the southeastern United States faced the daunting task on Saturday of cleaning up from Hurricane Helene, one of the most powerful and perhaps costliest to hit the country.

Damage estimates across the storm's rampage range between $95 billion and $110 billion, potentially making this one of the most expensive storms in modern US history, said chief meteorologist Jonathan Porter of AccuWeather, a commercial forecasting company.
Downgraded late on Friday to a post-tropical cyclone, the remnants of Helene continued to produce heavy rains across several states, sparking massive flooding that threatened to cause dam failures that could inundate entire towns.
