“We firmly believe this collaboration will establish a new benchmark for the maritime industry in terms of quality, efficiency, and service standards.”

Earlier this month, ASRY allocated a repair berth for the processing of substantial construction material shipments, in collaboration with the Ministries of Industry and Commerce, Works, and Transportation and Telecommunications, as well as domestic construction companies, in response to increasing demand for these materials.

The goal is to maintain a consistent supply and prevent interruptions, ensuring construction and infrastructure projects proceed as planned, according to the company.

ASRY and its partners are improving the utilisation of current facilities to enhance the supply chain and simplify logistics for firms importing materials into the kingdom.
