JEDDAH: Transport Minister Jabara
Al-Seraisry yesterday blamed the arrival of fake and
imitation products at the Jeddah Islamic Port for the
accumulation of containers at the port. “Customs
department officials required more time to inspect
such products to protect consumers,” he said.
Speaking to reporters after a meeting with Khaled
Boubsheet, president of Saudi Ports Authority, he said
the minister inspected port facilities on Tuesday on
the directives of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques
King Abdullah, Crown Prince Sultan and Second Deputy
Premier and Minister of Interior Prince Naif. Prince
Naif had earlier instructed Al-Seraisry and port
officials to find radical solutions for the recurring
problem of container accumulation at the port forcing
international shipping lines to unload their goods at
nearby ports. He denied suggestions that the Port and
Customs Department were to blame for the problem.
“During my inspection tour, I found some 8,000
containers that were present at the port being cleared
by customs officials and keeping them ready for
transportation,” he said.
Al-Seraisry said traders keep the containers at the
port for some time making use of the concession given
to them by the government.
He skipped a question on the lack of workers at
clearance companies and said there was good
cooperation between various agencies to speed up
clearance of consignments.
“Clearing companies have received adequate number of
visas from the Ministry of Labor to recruit workers.
Until the arrival of recruited workers companies can
make use of workers available in the local market,” he
explained.
He said Jeddah Islamic Port, the largest on the Red
Sea, receives about 65 percent of the Kingdom’s
imports. Its northern and southern terminals have a
capacity to handle three million containers a year.
