As part of our contingency planning efforts ahead of the upcoming peak season, we are implementing operational adjustments across our Jeddah gateway structure. This means selected transshipment cargo currently routing via Jeddah will be redirected through alternative regional hubs until further notice.
What this means for you and your cargo:
Cargo booked to Kuwait, Iraq, Qatar, Bahrain and the UAE - Your cargo will now transship via Salalah and Khor Fakkan, then move by Landbridge to Sharjah, before connecting to final destination through our intra-Gulf feeder network. It will not go via Jeddah*
Cargo booked for Jeddah where the consignee is not based in Saudi Arabia If your cargo is booked to Jeddah but the consignee is in another Middle East country, your cargo will not be discharged in Jeddah. It will instead be routed to the consignee's country via Khor Fakkan.*
*Please note there may be additional charges in connection with rerouting. All impacted customers will receive a separate email with the details.
Saudi import and export cargo - Cargo Port of Discharge or Place of Delivery in Saudi Arabia will continue to move through Jeddah. This includes cargo destined to Riyadh and Dammam, via the established Jeddah Landbridge solution.

We will continue to keep you updated on the situation, as well as continue to update our Red Sea webpage. Should you have further questions please do not hesitate to reach out to your local Maersk representative. Our teams are on hand to support with your planning, should you need any assistance.
