If you searched for maximum load 40 ft container, you need specifics, not brochures. Here they are — and Masar turns them into a working shipment.
The rules of the lane: Budget beyond ocean freight: terminal handling at both ends, delivery order fees, customs duty (mostly 5%) plus 15% VAT, and inland trucking (Jeddah–Riyadh SAR 2,500–4,500).
Indicative 2026 rates to Jeddah/Dammam: from China $1,300–2,600 (20ft) and $1,800–3,500 (40ft); from Europe $1,200–2,200. FCL beats LCL above ~12–15 CBM. Container shipping to Saudi Arabia: a 20ft box holds ~28 usable CBM / 28t payload, a 40ft ~58 CBM, a 40ft high cube ~68 CBM.
That is the honest frame for maximum load 40 ft container — the rest is execution.
Leave your number — a specialist replies within 30 minutes during Saudi working hours.
