Bahri Yanbu Loads in Antwerp for Jeddah and Aqaba

The Bahri Yanbu loaded in Antwerp on 30 March with cargo for Jeddah and Aqaba, again demonstrating the value of a regular RoRo connection from North Europe to the Red Sea. The sailing included rolling cargo and project shipments for both destinations, giving shippers a direct sea leg from Antwerp to two important gateways for the Middle East.

Cargo for the United Arab Emirates and Qatar was also accepted for this sailing. IMS routes those consignments via Jeddah and uses its landbridge solutions to coordinate the onward movement to their final destinations. This option is especially useful when a shipper needs to combine a scheduled RoRo sailing with practical inland delivery planning, rather than treating the ocean voyage and destination leg as separate shipments.

As Bahri's commercial agent for Jeddah and Aqaba, IMS Shipping supports customers from the booking stage through port handling and destination coordination. Transit planning for this lane is based on the confirmed vessel schedule, the cargo's readiness for loading, and the requirements of the onward route after discharge. The Bahri Yanbu call reinforces the role of Antwerp as a loading hub for vehicles, rolling cargo, and project equipment moving into Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the Gulf, and the wider Middle East.
