35,000t cement shipments arrive in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia: The Saudi Port Authority (SPA) has said that cement shipments have been arriving since King Abdullah decree for the country to import 10Mt was issued in April 2013. About 350,000t of cement have been shipped from the UAE and Egypt through various Saudi ports.

"Shipments have come through Dammam, Jeddah and Jazan ports, some through Yanbu and some others are scheduled to arrive through Jubail and Dammam ports," said Musaid Al-Darees, press spokesman for the SPA. Al-Darees added that incoming shipments from the UAE will help face the continuing cement crisis. Around 90% of cement comes from Al-Batha Port, which is witnessing a lot of incoming shipments from the UAE. Shipments from Egypt form only 10% of total imports coming through Jeddah Islamic Port.
