Freight Forwarding
Two coastlines, three airport gateways, and an honest answer about which you need.
The problem we solve
Saudi Arabia sits on two coastlines, and choosing the wrong one adds days of inland trucking to an otherwise efficient sailing. We route ocean cargo through the gateway genuinely closest to its destination, and we use air freight only where the arithmetic supports it: a production line about to stop, a tender deadline, a perishable window, a spare part holding up a rig. For everything else we will tell you plainly that sea freight will do.
Capabilities
Four areas where the detail decides whether a shipment is straightforward or expensive.
Twenty foot, forty foot and forty foot high cube equipment on scheduled services from Asia, Europe, the Americas and intra Gulf origins. Weekly groupage consolidations run into both Jeddah and Dammam, with cargo palletised, wrapped and photographed at the origin warehouse.
Reefer containers with continuous temperature logging for food, pharmaceutical and chemical cargo, plus plug in monitoring while the box sits on the terminal.
Allocation on major carriers into King Fahd International Dammam, King Khalid International Riyadh and King Abdulaziz International Jeddah, with backup routings held where cargo is time critical. Full and part charters arranged for project equipment and relief cargo.
Ocean to a Gulf hub then air on the final leg. Roughly half the transit of pure sea freight at a fraction of pure air cost, for cargo whose timing sits between the two.
Questions
Jeddah Islamic Port and King Abdullah Port on the Red Sea, King Abdulaziz Port Dammam and Jubail Commercial Port on the Arabian Gulf, plus Riyadh Dry Port for inland clearance. By air we work through Dammam, Riyadh and Jeddah.
We track the free time clock from the moment of discharge and start clearance in parallel rather than sequentially. If a document is missing we tell you while there is still time to fix it, not after charges begin accruing.
Not always. The flight is short, but clearance, terminal handling and inland delivery are the same either way. Where a shipment has a two week window, sea freight often arrives comfortably in time at a much lower cost, and we will say so.

Most shipments use two or three of our services together. That is where the handovers disappear.
