Partnerships

In 2012, ARASCO established a joint venture with Bahri, one of the world’s largest shipping companies and an award-winning global logistics solutions provider that is highly committed to delivering the best results for all its stakeholders with its world-class fleet.
With ARASCO being the largest importer of agricultural raw materials, the strategic partnership paved the way to establish Bahri Dry Bulk (BDB), Saudi Arabia’s premier bulk carrier that offers highly efficient supply chain management services and expertise.
Since 2013, Bahri Dry Bulk has been successfully operating a significant number of bulk vessels, with an individual capacity of 85,000 dead weight tonnage. The partnership consistently enhances its efforts to expand its operations and increase its naval fleet within the coming years. Four new dry bulk ships were delivered by Hyundai Mipo Dockyard (HMD) in 2020.
