Port of NEOM and Partners Enable European Multimodal Land Bridge, Advancing Regional Cargo Connectivity
Pan Marine, which began calling at Port of NEOM at the end of 2025, has now activated its European connectivitythrough its partnership with DFDS. This integration allows truck‑carried freight to move directly from Europe into the Gulfvia Port of NEOM - expanding beyond previous container‑only flows and enabling the movement of critical goods,including FMCG and other time‑sensitive cargo.
The route is already in active use by importers from several European countries including Italy, the UK, Germany, andPoland. The corridor provides direct access into the UAE, Kuwait, Oman, the wider GCC, and Iraq, supporting customersseeking predictable and efficient market entry.
The new pathway builds on a successful pilot connecting Port of Safaga in Egypt, Port of NEOM, and northern SaudiArabia.
