From your plant to the vessel
1Collection at your plant
We arrange collection from your facility in the Eastern Province or the Northern Borders. Transport is contracted to vetted operators and managed by us end to end — one point of accountability, not three suppliers to chase.
2Across the land bridge
Saudi Arabia's east–west road and rail infrastructure connects the industrial east to the Red Sea coast. The Saudi Railway Company publishes freight corridors running from Dammam, Jubail, Ras Al Khair, Al Kharj and Hail toward the west. Where rail suits your cargo and volume, we route you to it. Where road is faster or cheaper for your load, we say so.
3Staging in Riyadh, on the axis
Our warehouse is in Sulay, on the Al Kharj Road — the same quadrant as Riyadh Dry Port and directly on the east–west axis. Cargo can be held, consolidated and checked line by line against the packing list, then released to the port on the sailing schedule rather than on the truck's schedule.
4Onto the vessel
We book the vessel from the selected gateway, prepare the commercial documents, and hand you a bill of lading.
What we look at before we route
- Where your buyer is.Destination decides which coast makes sense before anything else
- What is sailing.Service frequency and transit time to that destination from each gateway
- How each gateway is working.Berth waiting and yard conditions, checked per shipment
- Carrier capacity.Space and equipment availability on the routes that fit
- The inland leg.Distance and cost from your plant to each option
Sometimes the nearest port is the right answer. Sometimes it costs you three weeks. The point is that it is a decision, made with current information, and we show you the reasoning.
Export to China, India and Asia
Saudi-reported exports to China, India, Türkiye, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Singapore reached USD 24.4 billion in 2025, excluding unallocated fuels (UN Comtrade) — plastics, organic chemicals, fertilisers, rubber, metals and sulphur. We ship them as full containers from Saudi ports, on the port confirmed for each booking.

Frequently Asked Questions
QWhich Saudi ports do you export from?
Jeddah, Jizan, and Dammam — we choose the gateway based on your buyer's destination, sailing availability, and how each port is working at the time, not just whichever is closest to your plant. We also load at Jubail, and we confirm the current loading port and route for every booking.
QDo you export via rail?
We route to the Saudi Railway Company's (SAR) published freight corridors where it suits your cargo and volume, on the rail service SAR operates. The road-vs-rail decision is made per shipment, not as a fixed policy.
QWhat container sizes do you export?
Full container loads – 20ft, 40ft and 40ft high-cube – for commercial cargo from Saudi manufacturers and traders.
QCan a manufacturer in the Eastern Province export through a Red Sea port?
Yes — this is exactly the east-west land bridge the page is built around. We stage your cargo at our Riyadh warehouse on the connecting axis, and route it to whichever gateway — Dammam or the Red Sea — actually suits your buyer's destination and sailing schedule.
QWhat does Saudi Arabia export to China and India?
Excluding fuels, Saudi exports to China were USD 7.75 billion in 2025, led by organic chemicals (2.86 bn) and plastics (2.41 bn), and to India USD 8.95 billion, led by fertilisers (2.69 bn) and plastics (1.37 bn) (UN Comtrade). Product and destination detail is on our Export to China, India and Asia page.
QWhich certificate of origin do I need for an export?
The Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources issues it through its e-service, in four types: GCC national product, Arab countries, GCC preferential unified model for free-trade partners, and the general model for everyone else. We confirm the type for every shipment.
QIs VAT charged on exports?
Exports outside the GCC are zero-rated. ZATCA requires export clearance documents, commercial documents showing the customer and delivery place, and transport documents such as the bill of lading, obtained within 90 days of the supply; otherwise the standard rate applies. We hand you that pack with every shipment.
