About This Seaport
At about 3.2 million TEU in 2024 – up from some 2.3 million in 2023 – Dammam's King Abdulaziz Port is the largest container port on the Arabian Gulf and one of the busiest in the Middle East; in January 2025 it set a new monthly record of 215,179 TEU, beating the previous mark of 211,202 TEU from July 2023. Since operations began in 2015, Saudi Global Ports has handled a cumulative total of over 15 million TEU at King Abdulaziz Port, and ongoing expansion works aim to lift annual capacity to roughly 7.5 million TEU by 2050. Its two container terminals are run by Saudi Global Ports (a PSA company) and International Port Services (Hutchison Ports). Beyond containers the port handles general cargo, dry bulk, RoRo and project shipments. Inland reach comes from the Saudi Railways line to Riyadh – effectively a land bridge across the peninsula – plus a dense motorway network serving the Eastern Province and the capital region. Customs clearance runs through Saudi Arabia's ZATCA authority, making Dammam the principal import gateway for the east and centre of the country. Those weighing alternatives look to the nearby industrial port of Jubail or, on the Red Sea side, to Jeddah Islamic Port.
