Electronic portal launched in the Kingdom; will facilitate the entry and movement of tourist yachts

An electronic portal was launched by Saudi Minister of Transport and Logistics Saleh bin Nasser Al-Jasser on Sunday that will facilitate the entry and movement of tourist yachts in the Kingdom, as per the reports of Saudi Press Agency.

The “Ebhar” platform unifies all government procedures and information from 20 government agencies, including yacht registration services, procedures for entering and leaving the Kingdom, sailing permits, issuing navigational licenses, and registering yachts under the Saudi flag.

During the launch ceremony, which was held at the Jeddah Yacht Club, Al-Jasser said that Saudi Arabia was experiencing a significant expansion of its coastal and marine assets, including the development of new destinations such as NEOM, Amala, and the Red Sea project. He also noted the yacht market’s bright future, which is expected to grow 19.4 percent a year from 2022 to 2028.
