Jacobs awarded contract for global logistics hub in Saudi Arabia

Jacobs has been appointed by NEOM Company as the lead design consultant for the Port of NEOM redevelopment project in northwest Saudi Arabia. The project in NEOM’s new industrial city Oxagon, will transform the existing facility into a net zero, next-generation global logistics hub. The world’s first integrated port and supply chain system is expected to be fully automated and operate on 100% renewable energy. The design and construction will incorporate a range of sustainability initiatives, including recovering and reusing materials and structures where possible and using low-carbon steel frames to construct quay walls.
