Grimaldi Group awarded at the Saudi Maritime Awards

Sustainable Shipping Award for the Grimaldi Group at the Saudi Maritime Awards

The Grimaldi Group has been honoured with the Sustainable Shipping Award at the inaugural Saudi Maritime Awards. The event, held in Jeddah on 29 January, celebrated outstanding performance, innovation and leadership across shipping, ports, logistics, offshore activities and related sectors, highlighting Saudi Arabia’s expanding leadership role in regional and global maritime affairs.

The prestigious awards ceremony, organized by Robban Assafina – a Middle Eastern maritime media platform – in strategic partnership with the Saudi Arabian Transport General Authority, under the patronage of H.E. Saleh bin Nasser Al-Jasser, the country’s Minister of Transport and Logistics Services, took place at The Ritz-Carlton Jeddah and brought together international leaders, innovators and decision-makers from across the maritime sector.

The Sustainable Shipping Award was received on behalf of the Grimaldi Group by its Head of External Relations, Paul Kyprianou. This is just the latest recognition acknowledging Grimaldi’s strong and forward-looking sustainability strategy. In fact, the Group is actively investing in green technologies designed to significantly reduce CO₂ emissions across its fleet. This environmental commitment goes beyond mere compliance with global climate objectives and also represents a proactive contribution to the goals of Saudi Vision 2030, supporting the Kingdom’s ambition to build a more sustainable and diversified economy.

More generally, the Grimaldi Group contributes tangibly to strengthening maritime trade with the Saudi ports of Jeddah and Dammam through consistent, high-quality, environmentally friendly shipping services. By maintaining reliable connections with China, Europe and North America — even during periods of geopolitical disruption — the Group has supported the Kingdom’s global supply chains and commercial growth, reinforcing its position as a trusted logistics partner in the region.

Grimaldi’s service quality and customer-first approach have consolidated its reputation as a reliable partner for Saudi ports and stakeholders. Looking ahead, the Group’s long-term vision includes increasing service frequency, further integrating sustainable practices across operations and continuing to invest in the region to support its rapidly evolving logistics landscape.
