Arabia, is accelerating the Kingdom’s transformation into a global maritime and
logistics hub, aligning closely with Saudi Vision 2030. Through fleet
expansion, strategic partnerships, and innovation, the company is reinforcing
Saudi Arabia’s role at the heart of global trade networks.

“Our strategy focuses on deepening our market presence, expanding into new
regions, and leveraging our unmatched technical expertise and passion for
innovation,” said Eng. Ahmed Alsubaey, CEO of Bahri. “The Congress provides a
platform to share our vision and collaborate with global maritime leaders.”
Bahri’s commitment is backed by significant
investment. In August 2024, the company secured a $1 billion deal to acquire
nine Very Large Crude-oil Carriers (VLCCs) from Capital Marine and Trading
Cooperation, bolstering its position among the world’s largest VLCC operators.
Today, Bahri operates 103 owned vessels and three floating desalination barges.
The company is also building a comprehensive
maritime ecosystem through partnerships with:
·
Ma’aden – to
localize maritime industries and strengthen supply chains
·
Saudi Logistics Academy
– to develop skills and employment opportunities in the sector
·
Bahri Ship Management –
expanding technical management and crewing services for external operators
