Agricultural produce, livestock and industrial raw materials shape the cargo mix at Jizan, a multipurpose port on Saudi Arabia's south-western Red Sea coast. Roughly 266 nautical miles north of the Bab al-Mandab Strait, it ranks as the kingdom's third-busiest Red Sea port by traffic, with an annual capacity around 5 million tonnes. Managed by the ports authority MAWANI, Jizan operates separate terminals for containers, bulk, general cargo and passengers. As a deep-water port it can accommodate vessels up to 200,000 dwt across its berths. The harbour is closely tied to the development of Jizan Economic City and serves the surrounding agricultural and industrial hinterland. Inland distribution runs mainly by road toward the south-western highlands and the Asir region. For large containerised volumes, however, Jeddah remains the primary option, with King Abdullah Port a further alternative to the north.
