Yanbu Industrial Port

Yanbu Industrial Port serves the refineries and industrial complexes along the Red Sea coast. Also known as King Fahd Industrial Port, it provides an outlet for crude oil, refined petroleum and petrochemicals, linking production sites with overseas markets.

The port was established in 1980 to support industrial development. Its role includes bringing in machinery, equipment and other materials needed by factories, as well as shipping their products abroad. This combination of industrial imports and energy exports distinguishes it from a port focused mainly on consumer goods.

Specialised terminals form part of a wider industrial waterfront. For cargo planning, the distinction between this complex and the separate Yanbu Commercial Port matters: the destination terminal must correspond to the product and the receiving facility.
