A state-of-the-art 100,000 sq metre logistics facility has been opened near King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam by Kanoo Logistics, part of the Yusuf bin Ahmed Kanoo Group. The multipurpose facility includes a 10,000 sq m warehouse, as well as 500 sq m of elevated staging area and 5,000 sq m of parking space.

“At YBA Kanoo, through Kanoo Logistics, we are always looking for solutions that will benefit our customers and help their businesses grow,” said Kanoo’s Acting Group CEO, Fawzi Ahmed Kanoo. “We therefore chose to be near King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam to build the new warehouse, since it is an ideal location to store both import and export goods.”

Kanoo Logistics’ network includes both dedicated and multipurpose warehouses across Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, and Bahrain, which have a combined capacity exceeding 40,000 sq m of storage space. It also operates several open yard storage facilities in Saudi Arabia, comprising over 325,000 sq m in total.

The network provides storage for a variety of sectors, including the petrochemical and automotive industries, as well as fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), even as Kanoo has a specialised hazardous chemicals facility in Dammam. All of its warehouses and yards are in close proximity to ports in these locations.

“To put matters in a nutshell, the number of calls that we handle, the diversity of demands that we cater to, the number of ports that we cover, and the number of various shipping activities that we are involved with in the region make us the largest independent family-owned shipping agency in the entire Middle East,” says Kanoo.
