NEOM, Saudi Arabia’s ambitious $500-billion project, has introduced the country’s first fully automated, remote-controlled cranes at its Red Sea port, according to the Associated Press. This development is a major step as NEOM prepares to launch port operations in 2026.

The installation of advanced ship-to-shore and electric rubber-tyred gantry cranes at Terminal 1 will allow the port to handle the world’s largest container ships. NEOM aims to establish itself as a key logistics hub linking Asia, Europe, and Africa, supporting Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and its goals for economic diversification.

Sean Kelly, Managing Director of Port of NEOM, highlighted that these automated cranes represent significant progress toward building a state-of-the-art port that will drive industrial growth in northwest Saudi Arabia and set new standards in efficiency and innovation.

The port’s infrastructure includes a 900-meter quay wall and an 18.5-meter-deep channel, ensuring it can accommodate massive vessels passing through the Suez Canal. Terminal 1 will also feature horizontal transport automation, further enhancing logistics capabilities.

In addition to technological advancements, the port is investing in local workforce development. A specialized training program is preparing Saudi talent, including women from the Tabuk region, for advanced roles such as remote crane operation.

One trainee, Hajjer Alatawi, emphasized the complexity and teamwork involved in port logistics and expressed optimism about the growing presence of Saudi women in the industry.

By equipping local workers with high-tech skills, Port of NEOM is advancing the broader vision of creating a sustainable, innovative, and resilient economic ecosystem in line with Saudi Vision 2030.
