Sultan Logistics Dammam Logistics Park: A Bold, High-stakes Push to Grow Eastern Region Re-export Power

Sultan Logistics has signed a contract with the Saudi Ports Authority (Mawani) to establish a new logistics park at King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam. The project investment is up to SAR 200 million. The goal is clear: enhance the port’s competitiveness, raise operational efficiency, and improve the logistics services provided at the port.

Several numbers show the scale of this plan. The park will cover 197,000 square meters. It will include 35,000 square meters of warehouses. It also includes an investment of up to SAR 200 million, which underlines the project’s ambition inside the port ecosystem.

According to the announcement, the logistics park will include warehouses, administrative offices, and a yard for storage and maintenance of dry and refrigerated containers. The plan also includes a re-export area. For the Eastern Region, this is important because a dedicated re-export space can help commercial movement with high operational capabilities.

Why Re-Export Capacity and Port Efficiency Matter Here

The project is presented as part of Mawani’s initiatives aligned with the National Transport and Logistics Strategy. The stated direction is to establish logistics parks inside and outside the Kingdom’s ports. In simple terms, the Sultan Logistics Dammam logistics park is positioned as one practical piece within a wider effort to provide reliable logistics services and support national development goals linked to Saudi Vision 2030.

The contract was signed by Mawani’s acting president, Mazen bin Ahmed Al-Turki, and Sultan Logistics chairman, Ali Sultan Al-Qahtani, in the presence of several officials. The announcement also says the new park is expected to strengthen King Abdulaziz Port’s competitive advantage by offering specialized logistics services. It also aims to increase private sector participation in economic development and support economic diversification.

This Dammam project also sits next to a broader pipeline of logistics development described by Mawani. In 2024, eight logistics parks and centers were launched, had cornerstone laying, or were inaugurated, with nearly SAR 2.9 billion in private sector investment. Mawani is also described as developing over 20 logistics centers across Saudi ports, with total investments exceeding SAR 10 billion, including Maersk’s largest global logistics investment at Jeddah Islamic Port valued at SAR 1.3 billion and covering 225,000 square meters.
