Port Overview · Saudi Arabia · Red Sea

Yanbu Al Bahr Port (SAYNB)

Yanbu Al Bahr, also known as Yanbu Commercial Port, is a seaport on Saudi Arabia’s western Red Sea coast. Its location at approximately 24.0665° N, 38.0675° E places it between Jeddah Islamic Port and northern Red Sea ports, making it relevant to cargo serving Yanbu, Madinah and the wider western and central Saudi Arabian hinterland. The supplied port profile describes a multi-purpose facility with 12 berths, annual handling capability above 13.5 million metric tons, a passenger terminal, a general cargo terminal and two 20,000-ton bulk silos. For containerized, project, bulk or passenger-related movements, our service team confirms the applicable terminal, vessel connection, cargo acceptance and inland delivery plan before booking.

Key Highlights

Multi-purpose profile

The supplied data identifies commercial, general-cargo, passenger and bulk-handling functions rather than a container-only gateway.

Western Saudi access

The port is positioned to serve Yanbu and inland demand linked with the Madinah and Qassim regions.

Bulk capability

Two bulk silos are listed in the supplied profile, each with a stated capacity of 20,000 metric tons.

Connection planning matters

Container and project-cargo routing may require a confirmed vessel connection or transshipment plan; availability must be checked shipment by shipment.

Facilities & Services

Berthing and cargo operations: The supplied port profile records 12 berths and a general cargo terminal. Berth allocation, cargo acceptance and operating windows remain subject to the port and terminal confirmation.
General and project cargo: Breakbulk, machinery, steel, packaged commodities and out-of-gauge cargo should be assessed against lifting, lashing, dimensions and berth restrictions before quotation.
Bulk storage: Two bulk silos are stated at 20,000 metric tons each. Commodity compatibility, discharge method, storage terms and inspection requirements should be confirmed in advance.
Passenger facility: The supplied profile describes one terminal designed for up to 1,500 passengers. This does not by itself confirm cargo services or vessel schedules.
Container movements: Our service team checks whether the selected carrier accepts FCL, reefer, dangerous-goods or special-equipment cargo through SAYNB, or whether an alternative Saudi gateway is more suitable.
Inland distribution: Road haulage is the practical planning focus for delivery beyond Yanbu. Vehicle type, route permits, delivery slot and site access should be validated before dispatch.

Routes & Transit Times

Trade direction: Cargo moving between Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, the Middle East, East Africa and Saudi Arabia may be evaluated for Red Sea routing, subject to the carrier’s current network and vessel rotation.
Connection structure: A shipment may move by direct call, feeder connection or transshipment through another regional gateway. Our team confirms the actual routing rather than assuming regular direct service.
Time drivers: Transit depends on port rotation, transshipment dwell, equipment availability, customs release, terminal handling, vessel changes and inland delivery conditions.
Planning rule: We provide an indicative schedule only after receiving the commodity, equipment type, origin, destination, required delivery date and any dangerous-goods or project-cargo details.

No fixed transit time, sailing frequency or direct-service promise should be made for SAYNB without a current carrier quotation and terminal confirmation.

Hinterland & Key Cargo

Primary hinterland

Yanbu and the western Red Sea corridor are the immediate logistics area; the supplied profile also identifies commercial relevance to Madinah and Qassim.

General cargo

Typical enquiries may include machinery, fabricated steel, construction materials, industrial equipment, packaged goods and project consignments, subject to terminal acceptance.

Bulk commodities

Bulk cargo requiring silo or specialist handling needs advance confirmation of commodity specifications, discharge equipment, contamination controls and storage arrangements.

Special cargo

Reefer, hazardous, oversized and heavy-lift shipments require equipment, handling and inland-route checks before the booking is finalized.

Operations & Compliance

Cut-offs: Booking, shipping-instruction, VGM, document and terminal cut-off times can differ by carrier and service. Our team obtains the applicable cut-off in writing and builds in time for customs or inspection delays.
Dangerous goods: Submit the correct UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group, SDS and packing details before acceptance. DG approval must be obtained before cargo delivery or loading.
Documents: Commercial invoice, packing list, transport document instructions, certificate requirements, import permits and any commodity-specific approvals should be checked against the consignee’s Saudi import setup.
Inspection and inland delivery: Customs examination, document queries, release holds, truck availability, route restrictions and consignee site access can affect the final delivery date. Do not dispatch inland equipment before release and delivery instructions are confirmed.

Saudi customs and import-control requirements should be checked against current guidance from zatca.gov.sa. Port and terminal operating requirements remain subject to the current instruction of the relevant port authority and service provider.

Shipping Tips

Send the full cargo profile at quotation stage: commodity, HS classification, dimensions, gross weight, packing method, temperature requirements and whether the cargo is hazardous or oversized.
For project or breakbulk cargo, provide drawings, lifting points, center of gravity, lashing requirements and proposed inland delivery address so our team can screen handling and truck options.
Reserve equipment and request the carrier’s current routing early, particularly for reefer, special equipment, DG and time-sensitive cargo. Keep an alternative Red Sea gateway under review if SAYNB acceptance or connection is unavailable.
Prepare commercial and regulatory documents before the cargo reaches the terminal; align consignee, importer-of-record, customs broker and delivery instructions to reduce avoidable holds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can our shipment use SAYNB for containerized cargo?: It may be possible depending on the current carrier service, equipment and terminal acceptance. Our service team checks the actual sailing option and, where necessary, compares it with another Saudi Red Sea gateway.
Is SAYNB suitable for breakbulk or project cargo?: The supplied port profile identifies a general cargo terminal, so breakbulk enquiries can be evaluated. Final feasibility depends on cargo dimensions, weight, lifting method, berth plan, lashing and inland route approval.
What information is needed for dangerous goods?: Provide the UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group, SDS, package details and container information before booking. Carrier and terminal approval must be secured before delivery.
How should we estimate the delivery date?: Use the confirmed vessel connection plus customs, terminal release and inland trucking lead time. Published schedules are indicative; our team reconfirms the date after the carrier and local delivery plan are accepted.
What if the selected service cannot accept the cargo at SAYNB?: We review alternative Saudi gateway routing, feeder or transshipment options and the inland cost and time impact before presenting a revised plan for approval.
