Transit & Capacity:

Industry Focus: Port Dammam handles over 70% of Saudi Arabia’s non-oil trade, serving sectors like petrochemicals (equipment for SABIC, Aramco facilities), construction (materials for NEOM, Red Sea Project), and manufacturing (parts for automotive, consumer goods factories). Whether your company sources petrochemical machinery from Guangzhou factories, steel structures from Foshan suppliers, or industrial valves from Dongguan manufacturers, our FCL/LCL consolidation simplifies supply chains for Saudi Arabia’s large-scale industrial and infrastructure projects.

FCL: For industrial cargo, we use engineered weight-balanced loading to maximize container space and ensure safety: heavy machinery (e.g., 10-ton pumps) at the container base (secured with steel straps and anti-slip mats), medium-weight components (e.g., valves) in the middle, and lightweight parts (e.g., sensors) on top. This reduces damage risk by 95% and ensures 100% capacity utilization—cutting per-unit freight costs by 15–20%.

LCL: We consolidate smaller shipments into shared containers, grouping similar industrial goods (e.g., all valves in one section, all electrical parts in another) and labeling each supplier’s items with clear English-Arabic tags. Our team calculates space allocation to avoid overpacking and ensures compliance with Saudi Customs’ cargo segregation requirements for fast clearance.

Time Savings: No need to manage multiple logistics providers for different suppliers—we handle coordination, pickup, and storage under one plan, reducing your team’s administrative workload by 65%+ (especially valuable for companies managing Saudi Arabia’s large-scale industrial projects).

Cost Efficiency: Combining shipments cuts costs by 18–28%: FCL eliminates "half-empty container" waste (e.g., a 40HQ container for pumps can also fit complementary valves and sensors), while LCL lets you split costs (e.g., a 6 CBM sensor shipment shares a container with 9 CBM of electrical parts).

Visibility: Track each supplier’s cargo 24/7 via our mobile app (available in English and Arabic)—from factory pickup to warehouse storage to vessel departure—so you can plan Dammam receiving (e.g., truck transport to Jubail Industrial City, on-site delivery to refineries) in advance.

EXW: We handle pickup from all your suppliers’ factories (even remote industrial zones in Foshan or Shenzhen), transport to our warehouse, and full consolidation—ideal if your suppliers lack expertise in Saudi logistics (e.g., understanding SASO certifications or import permit processes).

FOB: Suppliers deliver to our Guangzhou warehouse; we take over consolidation, loading, and shipping from Nansha Port—keeping you in control of supplier timelines while simplifying your role (no need to coordinate with multiple carriers or handle export documentation).

CIF: End-to-end management—from supplier coordination to delivery at Port Dammam, including consolidation, freight, and insurance (with coverage for Saudi-specific risks like port congestion, maritime humidity damage, or delayed customs clearance for industrial goods).

Vessel Booking: We secure container space (FCL) or LCL slots on weekly ships to Dammam (via Suez Canal routes), aligning with your project deadlines—critical for Saudi Arabia’s time-sensitive infrastructure and industrial projects (e.g., oil refinery maintenance, NEOM construction phases).

Commercial Invoices: Itemized by supplier with accurate HS codes (e.g., 8413 for industrial pumps, 8481 for valves), fully compliant with Saudi Customs (General Authority of Customs, GAC) regulations.

Packing Lists: Clear separation of goods by source, including Saudi certifications (SASO marking, quality inspection reports) and technical datasheets (e.g., machinery operation manuals, component pressure test results)—required for fast Dammam clearance (average 2–3 days vs. industry 4–6 days).

Certificates of Origin: Customized to each supplier’s location, leveraging China-Saudi Arabia Economic and Trade Cooperation Agreement benefits to minimize Port Dammam import duties (often 0–7% for industrial goods, a key cost-saving for Saudi-based companies).

Warehouse to Port: After consolidation, our GPS-tracked, heavy-cargo-capable trucks transport FCL containers or LCL shipments from our Guangzhou warehouse to Nansha Port (1–2 hour drive), ensuring on-time loading onto Dammam-bound vessels. We prioritize off-peak departures to avoid port congestion and meet weekly sailing schedules.

Comprehensive Insurance: Optional coverage for Saudi-bound cargo—including protection against transit damage (e.g., corrosion on metal parts, impact damage to machinery), port delays, or lost shipments. For high-value items (e.g., petrochemical processing equipment), we offer extended coverage for customs holding and on-site delivery risks in Dammam.

Service & Price Advantage: Unlike local Saudi forwarders or generic Chinese logistics firms, we guarantee better service at the same price, better prices for the same service—backed by a 99% on-time delivery rate (thanks to fixed weekly sailings to Dammam) and 24/7 customer support in English and Arabic (critical for Saudi-based teams).

Saudi Market Expertise: We specialize in consolidating industrial and energy-sector cargo for Dammam, knowing how to package (e.g., corrosion-resistant materials for maritime transit), document (e.g., SASO compliance, duty exemption claims), and route cargo to key industrial hubs like Jubail, Khobar, and Riyadh.

Local & Regional Knowledge: As a Guangzhou-based forwarder, we understand China’s industrial supplier network (e.g., Guangzhou for heavy machinery, Dongguan for precision parts) and Saudi Arabia’s logistics landscape (e.g., Dammam’s port terminals, customs procedures for industrial goods)—minimizing cargo holds that disrupt large-scale projects.
