The Saudi Ports Authority (Mawani) has declared the launch of the new shipping route REDEX by CMA CGM at Jeddah Islamic Port. The move intends to boost the regional and worldwide competitiveness of Saudi maritime hubs, adhering to the goals of Saudi Vision 2030. 

The REDEX network links Jeddah Islamic Port to four international harbors: Malta Freeport, Port Said, Alexandria, and Aqaba, boasting a cumulative volume of 2,594 TEUs.

This development is part of Mawani’s push to reinforce logistics networks and ease the seamless movement of international commerce and domestic shipments.
