A Refrigerated Land Bridge Between the Red Sea and the Arabian Gulf
Saudi Arabia holds a position no other country in the region does: a coastline on the Red Sea and a coastline on the Arabian Gulf. At Zama, we turn that geography into a working service through reefer transit between Jeddah Port and Dammam Port, with operational capacity for more than 100 trips every month.
Connecting the GCC to the World
Through Jeddah and Dammam, we link cargo arriving from Asia, Europe, and Africa to Gulf markets, and back again. A container landing in Jeddah crosses the Kingdom by road and exits Dammam to its GCC destination, with no need to sail around the Arabian Peninsula.
Temperature Held from Port to Port
Refrigerated cargo leaves no room for error. Our teams monitor container temperature throughout the journey, with continuous checks on reefer units and full cold chain compliance, so goods arrive in the same condition they departed.
Partnered with One of the World’s Largest Shipping Lines
Zama delivers this service in cooperation with one of the largest ocean carriers in the world, meaning sea freight and road transport work as one integrated operation.
What Are the Benefits of Reefer Transit Through Saudi Arabia?
- Shorter transit time: the overland crossing saves days compared to the full sea route around the Peninsula
- Lower cost: a shorter journey reduces operating costs and reefer fuel consumption
- Greater flexibility: a reliable alternative during port congestion or shifting sea conditions
- Preserved quality: less time in transit means less risk for temperature-sensitive goods
- Vision 2030 alignment: strengthening the Kingdom’s role as a global logistics hub
