Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has launched a plan to build over 50 logistics centres to transform the kingdom into a global logistical hub.
The plan aims to develop the infrastructure of the kingdom’s logistical sector, diversify the local economy, and enhance the status of Saudi Arabia as a leading investment destination, local media reported.
The plan includes 59 centres occupying a total area of more than 100 square kilometers, with 12 in Riyadh, 12 in Makkah, 17 in the Eastern Region, and 18 in the other parts of the kingdom.
The centres, to be completed by 2030, would enable local industries to export Saudi products with high efficiency and support e-commerce by facilitating a rapid link between logistics centres and distribution centres across the Kingdom, the report said.
