Kamal hinted at the company’s desire to support local industries in Saudi Arabia by providing innovative logistical solutions to support sectors such as petrochemicals, agriculture, and manufacturing.

Turning to the UAE market, Kamal stated that the UAE is a key logistical and commercial hub due to its advanced infrastructure and encouraging economic policies.

Therefore, Think Big aims to achieve several objectives there, including providing integrated logistical services that encompass sea, air, and land freight to meet the needs of local and international companies, and building partnerships with DP World and national airlines.

In the UAE market, Think Big will adopt the latest eco-friendly technologies and implement sustainable logistical solutions that contribute to reducing the environmental impact of the company’s operations, according to Captain Mahmoud Kamal.

He observed that there are many challenges in the current phase in the Middle East due to geopolitical tensions, but this crisis can be considered temporary and will end at any time. Therefore, there is a need for hard work to increase the portfolio and prepare for what is to come.
