Port of NEOM and CEVA Almajdouie target expanded multimodal connectivity
Port of NEOM and CEVA Almajdouie Logistics are working to strengthen multimodal freight connectivity between maritime routes in the Red Sea and inland transport networks serving Saudi Arabia and neighbouring markets.
The collaboration aims to improve cargo movements between Europe, Egypt, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries and Iraq by combining the port’s maritime access with CEVA Almajdouie’s road transport, warehousing and customs capabilities.
According to an announcement published by CEVA Logistics on 12 October, the initiative is intended to expand access to European multimodal corridors and support more integrated cross-border supply chains.
Linking maritime services with inland freight networks
The collaboration brings together Port of NEOM’s location on the Red Sea with CEVA Almajdouie Logistics’ cross-border trucking fleet, ground infrastructure, bonded warehousing and customs brokerage services.
The partners aim to facilitate cargo movements beyond the port terminal by connecting maritime transport with inland distribution and customs clearance operations.
The proposed approach covers several cargo segments, including containerised freight, RoPax cargo, bulk and general cargo, as well as heavy-lift and project logistics.
For containerised and RoPax shipments, the initiative is intended to support cargo movements into domestic markets. Bulk and general cargo operations are also included, alongside specialised transport requirements for oversized equipment and infrastructure projects.
Focus on regional trade connectivity
The initiative is designed to strengthen freight connections between the Red Sea and regional markets by combining maritime access with established road transport capabilities.
CEVA Almajdouie Logistics CEO Stefano Pollotti highlighted the importance of linking ports with inland logistics networks to improve supply chain flexibility.
The collaboration also places emphasis on customs expertise and bonded storage as components of cross-border cargo movement.
The announcement does not specify a timetable for new corridor operations, additional infrastructure investment or quantified improvements in transit times.
