Recently, Saudi Arabia welcomed a new container shipping company - Folk Maritime. Headquartered in Riyadh, it will operate two routes on the Red Sea from Jeddah, connecting Saudi Arabia with other major ports on the Red Sea and providing services to the Middle East and surrounding regions.
Hestbaek's management team includes CCO Saleem Kadernani, Chief Financial Officer Khalid Fawzi and Chief Human Resources Officer Abdulrahman Alshangiti.
