ROYAL COMMISSION OF YANBU: 

AN INTRODUCTION

 

         

               Yanbu Industrial City is being developed under the direction of the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu.  Established in 1975 the Commission is responsible for providing the entire infrastructure, both physical and social, needed to construct and operate the huge industrial developments at Jubail and Yanbu.  In addition, the Royal Commission is in charge of community and human resources development, environmental protection and the promotion of private-sector investment in two cities.  Yanbu Industrial City is located on the Red Sea coast some 350 kms. north west of Jeddah.  About one third of the city’s 185 square kms consists of industrial sites.  Yanbu is currently host to 20 utilities for hydrocarbon, petrochemical and metallic industries, besides more than 40 utilities for light industries   There is also 20 industrial establishments in the various stages of construction or planning.  In Yanbu, the world-class refining and petrochemical complexes convert oil and natural gas into products for export and into feedstock for local manufacturers.  Yanbu is also a port city.  The port is protected by offshore barrier reefs and extends along 15 kms. of coastline. 

      Yanbu has a great advantage in its location.  It is very near to the Suez Canal opening it to the European market for its produces.  Yanbu is in the Middle of Americas and the Far East.  The city is located far off from the major oil fields of the Kingdom but intra-country pipelines convey crude oil and natural gas liquid to the petrochemical industries.

      Jubail is situated on the eastern shore of the Arabian Peninsula in the heart of oil producing regions.  The nearby port complex provides the city’s manufacturers with deepwater access to world shipping lanes.  Around 1000 hectares of the land is still available for lease.

      The required infrastructure like power, road, port, desalination unit for providing drinking water and telecommunications network are available in both the cities.  The Royal Commission’s role in industrial development of this area is substantial.

      These two cities provide the infrastructure and facilities, which may beneficial for Indian companies thinking of having joint ventures or business expansion in the field of Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals and Plastic, etc.  These two cities have expanded tremendously in the last 15 years and are now cornerstones of Saudi Arabia’s manufacturing economy.
