Ports in Saudi Arabia
Saudi Ports Authority (MAWANI) (Arabic: الهيئة العامة للموانئ) is a government agency that supervises the ports of Saudi Arabia. It was founded in 1976 as an independent agency of the Prime Minister's office, to bring together the governance and operations of the multiple ports of the country to one office. Over time the actual operation of the ports was devolved by government contract to independent port operating companies.
