DUBAI--The Saudi Ports Authority (Mawani) announced Monday the signing of an agreement worth more than 7 billion riyals ($1.9 billion) with Saudi Global Ports (SGP) to build and operate container terminals at a port in Dammam.

SGP will build, operate and transfer the container terminals on a 30-year contract. The project will increase the King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam’s capacity to reach 7.5 million containers and will provide more than 4,000 job opportunities in the port and logistics sector, Mawani said.
