A.P. Moller – Maersk Saudi Arabia (Maersk) and Saudi Post Company (SPL) have signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to boost eCommerce logistics in Saudi Arabia and the broader GCC region.

The partnership merges Saudi Post’s nationwide logistics network with Maersk’s global supply chain expertise, offering end-to-end solutions for international eCommerce players.

Aligned with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, this collaboration aims to streamline cross-border operations and elevate service quality for customers entering or expanding in the region.
