Saudi Maritime & Logistics Congress – a catalyst for growth

As thousands of shipping professionals prepare to gather in Dammam this September for Saudi Maritime & Logistics Congress 2024, the Kingdom’s Transport General Authority (TGA) has advised attendees ‘the reasons for attending are obvious: you get to be part of the conversation. Throughout the course of the event, participants will allow networking between thousands of attendees from across the globe and at every level of the industry’.

Speaking to Seatrade Maritime, organisers of the event, ahead of the global gathering from 18-19th September, Eng. Essam M Alammari, Deputy for Maritime Transport, TGA, Saudi Arabia, added: “As we have seen from its progressive growth in attendance, which stood at an impressive 95% in 2023, Saudi Maritime & Logistics Congress has become a key regional forum for the exchange of ideas between the brightest and best the industry has to offer.

?

“From policy makers to investors, industry professionals to academics, the strength of this Congress is indebted to the diversity of its attendees.

?

The participation not only of TGA, but of our partners in MAWANI, Bahri, Saudi Aramco and others, is a strong signal that the Kingdom’s policy makers and industry giants are committed to the important dialogue taking place over the direction of travel of shipping. All of these entities have helped to shape the agenda and attract the speakers we will hear from throughout the Congress.

?

Attendees will also benefit from a programme which focuses on the most critical questions of the future: supply chain resilience, digitization, sustainability, automation to name a few. Saudi Maritime & Logistics Congress is no longer a regional conference, but a global one, and it is TGA’s hope that it continues to grow.”
