The Kingdom has attracted the world’s leading maritime services providers
Svitzer, a leading global provider of towage and maritime support services, recently announced its intention to make use of its expertise in the industry to empower local talent in Saudi Arabia.
Supported by major maritime authorities in the Kingdom such as Saudi Ports Authority (MAWANI) and the Transport General Authority, in addition to leading entities in the Kingdom such as Bahri, Aramco, and International Maritime Industries (IMI), the event will connect the industry across the region by bringing together ship owners, suppliers, and key decision-makers, and looks forward to achieving the goals set for 2030.
