RO/RO shipping holds a substantial share of importance among numerous shipping services, as it meets the basic needs ranging from daily transportation, various industries, and finally to mega construction projects.

With this ever-growing demand for Ro/Ro services, King Abdullah Port RO/RO Terminal was designed to provide a state of the art brand-new hub for importing vehicles and wheeled equipment and other roll-on/roll-off (RO/RO) shipments.

The Ro/Ro terminal provides advanced services to the automotive sector, including importing, exporting and reshipping cars to markets and ports in neighboring countries, in addition to other commercial and industrial vehicles such as tractors, trucks and heavy wheeled equipment that are used in the implementation of mega projects. It contributes to supporting the economy and providing excellent job opportunities, as well as strengthening partnerships with specialized international companies.

In order to reduce the rate of accidents and provide the necessary logistical services for this type of cargo, a large storage yard adjacent to the Ro/Ro has been established.

• Drivable distance from the RORO Terminal
• Bonded/Non-Bonded features.
• storage and integrated logistics for all types of vehicles and high and heavy equipment.
• Accessorizing and Re-Export.

Capacity: 30,000,000 tons

Integration

The Smart Gate System is integrated with the Port Community System and the Terminal Gate Systems to improve the operational efficiency within the Port.

It is also integrated with security and operational processes, creating a more efficient interface between King Abdullah Port gate operations and government bodies such as Customs and Coast Guard.

Automation

The Smart Gate System automates security functions, authenticating the identity of the driver, vehicle and cargo.

This automation of operational functions reduces or eliminates the need for human intervention.

Control

The Smart Gate System significantly reduces the time to handle trucks at the Port gate and speeds up turn around time in the Port.

It reduces the volume of traffic inside the Port by only allowing in trucks that have an appointment.

It also helps the Terminal Operator to improve productivity by preparing containers for delivery based on appointments.

• King Abdullah Port plans to have a dedicated Multi-modal (Rail) Terminal adjacent to the port.
• The Multimodal Terminal will span over 1 Million sqm with annual handling capacity of 10 Million TEUs.
