Jeddah Islamic Port demonstrates resilience amid disruptions, but challenges persist

Jeddah Islamic Port, Saudi Arabia’s largest container port and a critical transshipment hub on the Red Sea, has faced significant challenges over the past three months due to the ongoing Houthi attacks in the Red Sea region.

While Jeddah itself was not directly struck, the ripple effects were felt as major shipping companies like Maersk and MSC rerouted vessels around the Cape of Good Hope to avoid the Red Sea.
