- Seaports are a major influencer on a country overall economy. Saudi Arabia is located at the pass ways between the East and the West. More than 90% of shipments are transported by ships. Many manufacturers assemble their products in locations that are connecting shipping routes. This study aims to replace Jebel Ali port by Saudi Arabian ports while trying to minimize the total fuel consumption for a set of container vessels routes. The Transshipment problem was solved through Tora Optimization Software. The solution showed the importance of routing the container vessels through Jeddah Islamic Port, being located to open routes (on the way between the Red sea and the Mediterranean Sea) not like ports located in the Arab sea (dead end) and the need for double turns. The results where simulated and animated via Arena Rockwell Software. The results shows the need to re-innovate and expand Jeddah Islamic Port. Jeddah Islamic Port has to be marketed through the available crude oil Refinery to motivate the routing of ships through it by lowering the HFO Prices.
