Director-General Tawfig Bin Fawzan Alrabiah said on Wednesday that Modon has
signed an agreement with a foreign company, which will assist in the
three-month study project.

for connecting industrial cities and for establishing new ports in some industrial
cities.
Referring to the project, Abdullah Al-Faris, a logistical
service development official of Modon, said the linking will also help in
carrying goods to and from the Kingdom's seaports of the Kingdom. Modon currently oversees 20 industrial
