The National Grain Supply Company (SABIL), in collaboration with NEOM, has unloaded its first wheat shipment at the Port of NEOM in northwestern Saudi Arabia, carrying a cargo of 66,000 tons.

SABIL stated that utilising NEOM Port will accelerate the delivery of grain shipments to its branches in the northern regions, including Tabuk, Al-Jouf, Hail, and Qassim, enhancing distribution efficiency and improving service levels for beneficiaries, said a Saudi Press Agency report.

The company said the initiative reflects its ongoing efforts to enhance the grain supply system through strategic partnerships and advanced logistics solutions, strengthening the reliability of supply chains and supporting the Kingdom's food security objectives.

Located strategically on the Red Sea, the Port of NEOM plays a pivotal role in advancing the Kingdom's logistics infrastructure and enhancing regional trade efficiency. It is being developed into an integrated logistics hub linking three continents through a network of ports, roads, and maritime and land trade routes, while strengthening local and regional connectivity through cargo handling, land freight, coastal shipping, and multimodal transport solutions extending across the Kingdom, the GCC, and the Middle East.
