Saudi Global Ports begins upgrades of container terminals in Dammam

Saudi Global Ports (SGP) has commenced the first phase of its upgrade and development programme at the two container terminals in King Abdulaziz Port Dammam by appointing Jacobs Engineering Group as the civil engineering consultant.

The operator, which is a joint venture between Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund and PSA International, aims to leverage Jacobs’s expertise in port design and experience in supervising construction works across the country.

First Container Terminal which has been in operations for more than 30 years will be upgraded while Second Container Terminal will be expanded to serve the next generation of mega vessels.
