Mawani launches offshore manufacturing hub at Ras Al-Khair

The Saudi Ports Authority (Mawani) has signed a SAR 139 million contract with Singatac Arabia to establish a manufacturing center for offshore structures and platforms at Ras Al-Khair Port. The 100,000 m2 facility will include warehouses, specialized equipment, welding systems, and cranes to support oil and gas offshore projects.

The project is expected to create over 500 direct and indirect jobs, enhance the port's handling capacity, and strengthen Saudi Arabia's position as a regional logistics and maritime hub. The contract aligns with the National Transport and Logistics Strategy and Saudi Vision 2030 goals to develop advanced maritime industries, promote national talent, and adopt cutting-edge technologies.

Ras Al-Khair Port, with 14 berths and a 35 million-ton handling capacity, serves as a key gateway for exports and is connected to mining sites via rail, supporting efficient cargo operations and global trade.
