Ras Al Ghar

Sailors approaching Ras Al Ghar Terminal, a busy building material import hub 150km north of Dammam, enter a world distinct from the region's oil giants. Focused solely on construction materials with minimal commercial traffic, the port efficiently handles cargo with its 10 berths and 3km pier. Though smaller, professionalism is paramount, so ensure clear VHF communication with Port Control for docking instructions. The port authority will also provide specific mooring and cargo procedures to be meticulously followed for safety. While crew amenities are limited within the port, Jubail, the nearest city, offers relaxation. Remember strict Saudi visa rules; ensure proper crew documentation. Double-checking with Ras Al Ghar Terminal authorities before arrival is crucial for the latest regulations and specific requirements due to the port's building material focus.
