MAWANI, the Saudi Ports Authority, is a government body based in Riyadh responsible for regulating and overseeing the operations of the Kingdom’s ports. Founded in 1976, it seeks to transform ports into investment platforms that support trade and drive the national economy, while ensuring a reliable regulatory and commercial environment. The authority aims to enable growth and innovation in the maritime sector and to position the ports network as a sustainable, globally competitive logistics hub in line with Vision 2030 and the National Transport and Logistical Services Strategy. Its customers include shipping lines, port operators, logistics providers, and businesses reliant on efficient port services, and it addresses needs for predictable regulation and a secure maritime environment. A recent development illustrating its activity is the May 2026 launch of the Red Sea Express container service connecting Yanbu with Ain Sokhna and Aqaba to bolster regional trade.
