MANAMA, Sept 30 (NNN-BNA) – Bahrain, yesterday launched a fast sea-to-air logistic hub, which has a two-hour turnaround time for all containers, the kingdom’s transportation ministry said.
The “Bahrain Global Sea-Air Hub” can move goods at twice the speed and only 40 percent of the cost, comparing to the regular routes, the ministry said.
The launch of the hub makes better use of Bahrain’s strategic position, midway between Europe and Asia, as well as, its proximity to regional markets.
Calling it the fastest sea-to-air logistics centre in the Middle East, Kamal Ahmed, the country’s transportation minister, said, it is “a real opportunity not only for global logistics companies but also for exporters across the world.”
