Logistics in Action—Turning Infrastructure into Impact   When crisis strikes, speed and coordination save lives. Between November 2024 and April 2025, UPS, in collaboration with our partner The Net Global, donated our Beirut warehouse to facilitate the storage and distribution of 800 metric tons of humanitarian relief. Working under the Logistics Cluster and as part of the Logistics Emergency Team, we ensured that essential supplies reached Lebanon’s most vulnerable communities.   The impact was profound and measurable: Tens of thousands of food parcels, hygiene kits, and baby supplies Thousands of mattresses, blankets, and kitchen essentials Distribution support for organizations including IOM, UNFPA, Islamic Relief, Plan International, and others   This effort highlights a crucial reality: logistics is not just operational—it’s humanitarian. The private sector plays a vital role in emergency response, offering scale, precision, and speed when they’re needed most. Proud of what our teams accomplished in partnership with the humanitarian community.   #DeliverWhatMatters #CrisisResponse #Lebanon

At the Qatar Economic Forum, I spoke about how the dynamics of global trade have fundamentally shifted. Trade is no longer just about comparative advantage or pricing efficiency — it is becoming a topic discussed in terms of national & technological sovereignty. We see this in practice – over the past few years, geopolitically aligned nations have traded nearly $600 billion, covering 60% of global trade. This shift is driving the rise of new logistics and manufacturing hubs—from Saudi Arabia to Qatar—requiring companies focus on diversification and making sure production and supply chains are focused on your end consumer market.

Balancing Scale, Connectivity, and Resilience - SAL Malham Logistics Park’s role in Saudi Arabia’s Logistics Transformation As Saudi Arabia accelerates its Vision 2030 transformation, logistics hubs are no longer about storage and transport. They must be designed as platforms for scale, resilience and innovation - enabling both domestic efficiency and global competitiveness. In this context, the northern corridor of Riyadh is emerging as one of the Kingdom’s most strategic answers. Malham’s strength lies in connectivity. Direct links to Highways 65, the Northern Ring Road and Riyadh Dry Port seamlessly connect consumption centers. Proximity to King Khalid International Airport and future integration with King Salman International Airport - anchors multi-modal growth and strengthens Riyadh’s role as a regional gateway. Policy factors amplify this advantage. Daytime truck bans in central Riyadh elevate the northern corridor as a strategic anchor for reliable logistics flows, ensuring predictable service while easing congestion. In a market where reliability and speed are as critical as cost, this positioning is decisive. This is the vision behind SAL Malham Logistics Park: a smart, scalable Class A ecosystem blending Bonded, Built-to-Suit and Pre-built Distribution Centers, with advanced services, common amenities and future ready design. Strategically positioned along the giga-project corridor, SAL Malham Logistics Park is built to enable Vision 2030’s ambition of making Saudi Arabia a global logistics hub. #SAL Saudi Logistics Services # Ministry of Transport and Logistic Services # Logistics Middle East #Ministry of Investment #aramco #Saudia Cargo # National Unified Procurement Company "NUPCO" #JINGDONG Logistics # SHEIN #Ounass

Sharjah, UAE – 09/05/2025 A delegation of shipping and logistics professionals visited the Khorfakkan Container Terminal (KCT), on the invitation from them during the Seatrade Maritime, gaining valuable insights into one of the most strategically located and efficiently run ports in the Middle East. Operated by Gulftainer, KCT is situated on the eastern seaboard of the UAE, directly on the Gulf of Oman. Its location allows for direct access to major shipping routes without the need to navigate the narrow Strait of Hormuz, making it a preferred transshipment hub for global maritime traffic. During the visit, we were welcomed by terminal officials who provided an overview of the port’s operations & infrastructure. The group was given a guided tour of the container yard, where they witnessed state-of-the-art equipment including Super Post-Panamax quay cranes & RTG cranes. The terminal’s commitment to sustainability and efficiency was a key highlight. Officials explained the steps taken to reduce emissions, implement digital solutions, and optimize vessel turnaround time. The visit concluded with an interactive Q&A session @lunch where participants engaged with Ms. Zina S on topics such as cargo security, future expansion plans, and the impact of global trade trends on port operations. The tour of Khorfakkan Container Terminal offered a unique, first-hand look at a world-class maritime facility, leaving visitors with a deeper appreciation of the vital role ports play in global commerce. A special thanks to Zina S and Tarek Kiwan for organising the same. #shipping #ports #Transhipment #projectcargo #containers #seatrademaritime
