Red Sea Gateway Terminal (RSGT), Jeddah Islamic Port's flagship terminal, highlighted its support for the maritime industry at the 12th Trans Middle East 2016, a top annual container ports and terminal operations exhibition in the Middle East.

The two-day event which took place for the first time in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, was hosted by Saudi Ports Authority and featured 30 world-class conference speakers addressing topical issues and challenges on global transportation and logistics attended by a gathering of 400 senior executives from countries throughout the GCC.

RSGT’s managing director Jens Floe moderated the opening session, and general director and deputy managing director Hamdi Nadhrah delivered one of the key presentations at the conference titled, ‘Setting a benchmark! Increasing existing port capacity volume and efficiency in operational handling’, said a statement from the company.

Visitors to RSGT’s exhibition booth were also provided with a unique opportunity of various information about RSGT’s expansion project developments, top achievements and future plans.

Floe said: “The event is an excellent opportunity for our company to showcase its regionally recognised prominence and achievements in the maritime industry, and to highlight the next plans in light of the National Transformation Program 2030 Vision.”

“Under the guidance and leadership of the government of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, we are committed to continue our role in supporting the industry’s growth and development,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
