(MENAFN) Saudi Transport Minister, Jobarah Al Suraisry, said that in order for the Kingdom to compete with other regional ports, the country would boost the capacity of Dammam’s port and would spend around USD613 million in the expansion process, reported Gulf Daily News.
Al Surasry added that the amount would be spent in expansion projects for all ports, especially in the industrial ports in Yanbu and Jubail.
He also said that in the coming five or six months another budget to expand ports would be passed.
