SA GIZ Port (Jizan) – Terminals, Draft, Agents

About This Seaport

Agricultural produce, livestock and industrial raw materials shape the cargo mix at Jizan (SA GIZ), 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, operating separate terminals for containers, bulk, general cargo and passengers under the authority MAWANI; as a deep-water port it can accommodate vessels up to 200,000 dwt. The harbour is closely tied to the Jizan Economic City project; in April 2026, the Jazan City for Primary and Downstream Industries launched an incentive package offering discounts of up to 50 % on shipping and handling fees, a fixed 20 % new-customer discount, and a full waiver of maritime charges for the first three voyages of new customers. Inland distribution runs mainly by road toward the south-western highlands and the Asir region. For large containerised volumes, Jeddah remains the primary option, with King Abdullah Port a further alternative to the north.
