King Abdul Aziz Port in Dammam Launches TPA Service to Link Saudi Arabia with Chinese Ports and the Pacific Ocean Shipping Arabia, April 26, 2024 — The Saudi Ports Authority "Mawani" has enhanced King Abdul Aziz Port’s global connectivity with the introduction of the TPA service operated by Evergreen, linking Saudi Arabia directly to Chinese ports and the Pacific Ocean. This initiative is designed to facilitate trade and export activities, thereby expanding the Kingdom’s reach into vital international markets. The service addition aligns with Mawani’s strategic objectives to augment port efficiency and bolster infrastructure capabilities. It follows significant infrastructural investments at King Abdul Aziz Port, including the expansion of two container terminals in collaboration with the Saudi Global Ports Company "SGP." This project, funded by over seven billion riyals and executed on a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) basis, is anticipated to increase container handling capacity to 7.5 million TEUs, reflecting a growth of more than 120%. Connecting Dammam with 11 regional and international ports, the TPA service by Evergreen includes stops at Kelang, Malaysia; Cai Mep, Vietnam; and prominent Chinese ports like Hong Kong, Qingdao, Ningbo, Shanghai, and Yantian, as well as Taipei and Kaohsiung in Taiwan, Um Qasr in Iraq, and Jebel Ali in the United Arab Emirates. Operating on a weekly schedule, this service offers a capacity of up to 6,000 TEUs. King Abdul Aziz Port serves as a crucial logistical node on the Arabian Gulf, linked by rail to Riyadh Dry Port and acting as a primary channel for the influx of goods to Saudi Arabia’s Eastern and Central regions. This role is crucial in the implementation of the National Transport and Logistics Strategy (NTLS), aimed at establishing Saudi Arabia as a global logistics hub bridging three continents. The introduction of the TPA service is expected to significantly bolster King Abdul Aziz Port's capabilities, enhancing its status in the international maritime logistics sector and supporting the Kingdom's economic expansion.

Maritime Security Bulletin and Geopolitical Update Re: Hezbollah Has Killed (1)Israeli Soldier and Wounded (3) Others in a Gunfight in South Lebanon.    Date: November 16th, 2024   Issued by: Sanborn Analytics   Contact: [email protected] / (+1)(617)539-6114  --- Sanborn Analytics issues this maritime security bulletin and geopolitical update to advise the maritime shipping community and the armed naval forces at sea of ongoing military action in the Eastern Mediterranean.  Security Incident:  On November 15th, 2024, an Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldier, Sgt. Ori Nisanovich, 21, of the Golani Brigade’s 13th Battalion, was killed during fighting in southern Lebanon. Three other IDF soldiers were wounded in the same engagement with Hezbollah fighters, the Israeli military confirmed.  This incident brings the IDF’s toll in ongoing operations against Hezbollah and Hamas in Lebanon and Gaza to over 1,200 killed in action (KIA) and more than 12,000 wounded in action (WIA).  Geopolitical Update:  Sanborn Analytics, leveraging multiple HUMINT sources, assesses that the Israeli military is nearing critical manpower strain and may face pivotal decisions in the coming weeks. This could have significant regional implications, including increased hostilities or shifts in operational priorities.  Maritime Advisory:  Sanborn Analytics advises heightened caution for maritime traffic operating in the Eastern Mediterranean and adjacent waters. The escalating conflict and potential for expanded hostilities increase civilian shipping and naval operational risk. Mariners are urged to remain vigilant, monitor relevant maritime security alerts, and avoid unnecessary exposure in conflict-affected zones.  --- Media Credit: The Israeli Times  (No Media Collaboration)   --- #maritimesecurity #israel #hamas #hezbollah #lebanon #iran #gaza #palestine #israelhezbollahwar #hamasisraelwar #nationalsecurity #homelandsecurity https://lnkd.in/e7G27nRZ

#Pakistan's naval market looks very different today compared to the 1990s and 2000s. Not only is Karachi Shipyards & Engineering Works (KSEW) more involved in production, but there is a strong initiative on Pakistan's part to develop original solutions. These solutions range from specific subsystems all the way up to full surface and subsurface platforms. In this brief, we look at how foreign and domestic OEMs can leverage these shifts to build viable long-term business opportunities. https://lnkd.in/eDNEsMKE

How prepared are countries to handle wildfire emergencies with advanced aerial support? The Guyana Defence Force (GDF) recently showcased the firefighting capabilities of its Bell Flight 412 helicopter during a training exercise, signaling the nation’s commitment to bolstering emergency response. Shared by President Dr. Irfaan Ali, this demonstration highlighted the Bell 412’s robust, dual-turbine design and its adaptability across both civilian and military settings, particularly for firefighting missions. The Bell 412’s reliability in extreme climates and capacity for water transport make it a key asset in Guyana’s strategy to protect communities from wildfires and other emergencies. The exercise also underscored a wider commitment to national security, raising public awareness about wildfire prevention and emergency readiness.

The delay in the commercialization of Gwadar International Airport has drawn significant criticism. Originally set for earlier operational status, the airport's opening has faced repeated postponements due to technical and logistical challenges, including delays in the delivery of equipment from China. The latest timeline suggests operations might begin by mid-2024. Despite its virtual inauguration in October 2024, concerns about the region's security situation and inadequate planning have impeded progress. Gwadar Airport, a flagship project under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), is a key piece of infrastructure intended to transform the region into an economic hub. However, these delays have raised concerns about the efficiency of project execution and the region's development trajectory​.
