Located on 110 hectares (ha) of reclaimed land, the port features a 1,800m quay, which includes a 900m² container terminal served by four 61m post-Panamax cranes, along with general cargo, Ro-Ro, and passenger facilities. KBSP’s strategic location in the middle of the Arabian Gulf, combined with its deep-water berths and approach channel, enables it to accommodate the largest oceangoing container vessels. Its direct overland links to the mainland of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia position the port as a major regional distribution center.
Situated in Salman Industrial City, the port is just 13km from Bahrain International Airport and 5km from a purpose-built causeway. Access to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia via the King Fahad Causeway is only a 30km drive.
Managed by private operator APM Terminals, a global terminal operator, the port is one of the most modern in the Arabian Gulf, capable of handling container vessels with efficiency comparable to the world’s most productive ports. The Ports & Maritime Affairs supervises and regulates the port’s operations in line with the concession agreement.
