Lloyd’s Register (LR) was recently awarded a contract by Saudi General Ports Authority (Mawani) to support the development of management systems and certification preparation for four of its ports. This collaboration aims to improve efficiency, bolster operational excellence, and strengthen the Kingdom’s position as a key player in global trade.

The partnership is integral to Mawani's broader strategy to improve commercial operations at Saudi Arabia ports and increase their exposure to international markets to drive growth of national exports.

LR will work with Mawani to develop a comprehensive set of manuals and guidelines, including quality and environmental procedure manuals. These manuals will be aligned with the internationally recognised standards set by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

During the 14-month contract, LR will provide advisory services to Saudi Arabi’s four major ports; Jeddah Islamic Port, King Abdulaziz Port (Dammam Port), Yanbu Commercial Port and Jubail Commercial Port.

The scope includes comprehensive support for management systems and ISO 9001/14001 certification preparation, as well as Port State Control (PSC) processes and personnel training.

LR will provide tailored training programmes to port employees, focusing on ISO standards, maritime certifications, and the latest inspection and safety protocols. Innovative digital solutions and technologies will also be implemented to further enhance the sustainability and efficiency of port operations.

James Frew, Business Advisory Director at LR, said: “Saudi Arabia has set ambitious targets through its 2030 Vision to develop a thriving economy for a diverse and sustainable future. Our partnership with Mawani will play a key role in ensuring its port activities follow best practice and align with international requirements. We applaud the Kingdom for its commitment to investing in a safe and sustainable maritime economy and support its vision to become a significant international trading hub.”
