Port of NEOM's Oxagon terminal was 68% built as of December 2025. An interim port on the same site has moved cargo and ferry traffic since August 2022, handling about 250,000 TEU a year. In May 2025 it received Saudi Arabia's first fully automated, remote-controlled cranes — ZPMC-built, with AI-assisted fleet management — ahead of Terminal 1's 2026 opening, as Phase 2 dredging began toward a 1.5-million-TEU target by 2030.
