Maersk And Saudi Post Join Forces To Power eCommerce Logistics In Saudi Arabia

Maersk Saudi Arabia and Saudi Post Company (SPL) have signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish a powerful logistics partnership.

The collaboration aims to streamline logistics and supply chain services for global eCommerce companies entering and operating within Saudi Arabia, and potentially, the wider GCC region.

This initiative supports Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 by enhancing its logistics infrastructure and enabling seamless trade across borders.

Strengthening Logistics through Combined Expertise

The partnership leverages Maersk’s global shipping network and Saudi Post’s strong domestic delivery capabilities to offer an integrated end-to-end solution for international eCommerce businesses. With SPL’s advanced national infrastructure and Maersk’s new Integrated Logistics Park in Jeddah, customers can expect faster, more efficient logistics services across the region.

Ahmed Al Olaby, Director at Maersk Saudi Arabia, highlighted the strategic value, stating, “Our global ocean network and logistics park will combine with SPL’s domestic reach to deliver world-class services.”

Integrated Logistics Services: From Global Origin to Final Mile

Under the partnership:

• Maersk will manage origin handling, international transportation, and bonded fulfillment solutions.

• Saudi Post will handle in-Kingdom logistics, including customs clearance and last-mile delivery.

This synergy will improve reliability, visibility, and speed for eCommerce operations, attracting more global players to the Saudi market.

Four Pillars of Cooperation

The MoU outlines a comprehensive framework for collaboration across four focus areas:

• Technology Integration: Ensuring seamless digital connectivity between both logistics platforms

• Marketing & Commercial Strategies: Joint campaigns to attract global eCommerce clients

• Customer Service Alignment: Integrated handover and support mechanisms to enhance customer experience

• Operational Efficiency: Streamlined supply chain processes and scalable logistics capacity

Supporting Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030

This partnership supports Vision 2030 goals by strengthening Saudi Arabia’s logistics ecosystem and driving economic diversification. As the Kingdom positions itself as a regional trade and eCommerce hub, this initiative enables reliable, fast, and cost-effective logistics—boosting confidence among international retailers looking to expand into the Middle East.

The Maersk–Saudi Post collaboration marks a transformative step for Saudi Arabia’s eCommerce landscape. By combining global logistics strength with unmatched local delivery capabilities, the partnership offers scalable, future-ready solutions for international businesses. It not only enhances trade and connectivity across the region but also reinforces Saudi Arabia’s emergence as a leading logistics gateway in the GCC and beyond.
