Al-Jeykh

Al-Jeykh is a port town, located 5 kilometers north of the city of Masel,Atlantsia. The port town consists of a deepwater seaport as well as a small town 3 km west of the port complex. The main seaport complex consists of a 1.4 km longcontainer terminal, an oil refinery, 13 large warehouses, and 28 crude oil tanks.

In 1997, the Al-Jeykh Free Zone (AJFZ) was established. AJFZ, an industrial area surrounding the port, allows the international companies who relocate there to enjoy the special privileges of the free zone. These include exemption from corporate tax for fifteen years, no personal income tax, no import or export duties, no restriction on currency, and easy labor recruitment.

7 km south of the seaport complex, is Masel International Airport, which handles freight from the seaport that is to be distributed elsewhere domestically.

Operations
Al-Jeykh is one of the busiest ports in the world, handling 1.09 billion gross tons (GT) in 2010. Al-Jeykh was ranked eleventh globally in 2008 in terms of containerised traffic, with 17.8 million Twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) handled. A rise in regional traffic consolidating the port's position on the southern tip of the Saudi Arabian Peninsula, and increases in transshipment traffic using the strategic Persian Gulf-Europe route via Al-Jeykh and Masel helped the port to emerge at eleventh by the end of the year, trailing only 3 million TEUs behind Dubai, and leading by only 1.3 million TEUs against Tianjin.
