Saudi terminal operator Red Sea Gateway Terminal and France’s CMA CGM Group have signed a deal worth around SAR 1.6 billion ($426–434 million) to jointly develop and operate a new container Terminal 4 at Jeddah Islamic Port on the Red Sea. The project will add about 2.6 million TEU of annual capacity, build new deep‑water berths and install 10 ship‑to‑shore cranes, reinforcing Jeddah’s position as a major Asia–Europe hub and reducing reliance on routes via the Strait of Hormuz.
