Construction is progressing rapidly at Neom Port, located within the OXAGON industrial zone. The project enters a new phase in June 2025. This marks a significant step toward transforming the port into a modern maritime gateway. It will support advanced industries and connect global trade routes.

Notable Progress in Maritime Expansion

The site is bustling with heavy construction activity. Aerial images reveal cranes, landing vessels, and large-scale machinery. These are working on the expansion of piers and the establishment of core marine infrastructure. The port appears to be well into the foundational stages of its main facilities and logistics areas.

Strategic Location within OXAGON

Situated in the heart of OXAGON, the port forms a central pillar of Neom’s industrial vision. It is set within one of the world’s largest planned floating industrial cities. Its strategic location on the Red Sea is expected to make it a key logistics hub. The hub will link markets across Asia, Africa, and Europe.
