Saudi shipping services can soon expect better operational efficiency as the Kingdom’s transport authority has launched a project to localise and develop offices for land freight brokers. 

The Transport General Authority, which oversees land, railway and maritime transport in Saudi Arabia, launched the second phase of localising freight activities recently.  

The initiative aims to enhance national capabilities and provide individuals with opportunities in a range of transportation-related services and activities, in accordance with the Vision 2030 initiative to diversify the Kingdom’s economy. 

It was launched in collaboration with the Saudi Logistics Academy as well as a number of other relevant authorities in both the government and private sectors.
