Who We Are

About Red Sea Gateway Terminal

Red Sea Gateway Terminal (RSGT) is Saudi Arabia’s first privately funded terminal operator (BOT), headquartered in Jeddah. RSGT operates the country’s largest and most advanced container terminal at Jeddah Islamic Port, accounting for approximately 39% of Saudi Arabia’s container throughput in 2024 and offering 6.2 million TEU of annual capacity.

To serve a broader range of customers and cargo types, RSGT offers Multi-Purpose Terminals (MPT) services through a dedicated business unit that manages non-containerized cargo across four strategic locations on Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea coast. The portfolio spans Jeddah Islamic Port (integrating general cargo and Ro-Ro into a single multi-purpose facility), King Fahd Industrial Port in Yanbu, Yanbu Commercial Port, and Port of Jazan, adding roughly 13.4 km of quay and 3.3 million m² of operational area. Across these sites, RSGT handles general cargo, dry bulk, liquid bulk, Ro-Ro, project/heavy-lift cargo, and livestock. A planned SAR 1.6 billion upgrade program will modernize infrastructure, equipment, and digital systems and introduce energy-efficient technologies.

Across container and multi-purpose operations, RSGT focuses on reliable performance, safety, and sustainability, leveraging digital yard management, smart gate processing, and data-driven asset reliability, with a roadmap that includes electric handling equipment and shore-power readiness where feasible.
