Intermodal - Definition & Relevance

Definition & Relevance

Intermodal at Saudi Global Ports means integrated cargo movement across sea, rail, and road, enabling faster, more efficient logistics. By connecting our container terminals in Dammam with the Riyadh Dry Port Ecosystem, we streamline the inland transport of goods, reduce congestion, and optimise transit times. With a single operator managing both seaport and inland nodes, customers benefit from simplified coordination, improved turnaround times, and fewer handovers.

This intermodal model supports national trade flows while reinforcing Saudi Arabia's ambitions to become a logistics leader.
