Abu dhabi: DP World has started operations at its first multi-client third-party logistics (3PL) warehouse in Saudi Arabia, expanding integrated warehousing and distribution capacity for businesses serving the Kingdom's growing consumer and industrial sectors.
According to Emirates News Agency, the facility, located in Riyadh's Al Mashael Logistics Hub, spans 15,250 square metres and provides over 17,000 pallet positions. It offers scalable storage, inventory management, and distribution services through a single integrated logistics provider. This move comes as Saudi Arabia accelerates investment in supply chain infrastructure under Vision 2030, driving demand for modern logistics services across various sectors.
The warehouse provides customers with direct access to major transport corridors, facilitating the movement of customs-cleared goods into the domestic market and reducing lead times. Mohammad Alshaikh, CEO of DP World KSA, emphasized the facility's role in offering flexible and efficient warehousing and distribution services, which optimize inventory and improve market responsiveness.
Raveen Guliani, COO of Logistics at DP World GCC, noted that Saudi Arabia is a rapidly growing logistics market and a key regional trade gateway. The new facility enhances DP World's ability to support cargo flows between Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and global markets, further strengthening its regional logistics footprint.
Designed to support various sectors, the warehouse offers services such as storage, inventory management, import consolidation, and distribution. It can also accommodate temperature-controlled storage, providing flexibility for specialized supply chain needs.
The Riyadh facility complements DP World's existing logistics operations in Dammam and marks a significant step in developing an integrated national logistics network across Saudi Arabia. It builds on DP World's ongoing investment in the Kingdom, including expansions in Jeddah and the development of the Jeddah Logistics Park.
