ocean freight and logistics: below are the numbers that actually matter in Saudi practice — rates, transit times, paperwork — with Masar ready to run it end to end.
The Saudi baseline first: FCL suits loads above ~12–15 CBM; LCL bills per CBM ($25–60 from Asia). Sea freight carries most Saudi imports through Jeddah Islamic Port (Red Sea) and King Abdulaziz Port Dammam (Gulf). Transit: UAE 2–4 days, India 10–18, Europe 14–22, China 18–35.
Route to the port nearest the final destination: Jeddah for the west, Dammam for the east and Riyadh (with a rail option to Riyadh Dry Port).
