DHL Exel Supply Chain has been awarded a ten-year multi-million-dollar contract with oil giant Saudi Aramco.
Starting with the implementation on January 1, 2007, the contract represents one of the largest business deals ever achieved by DHL Exel Supply Chain in the Middle East, and substantially strengthens the Group's position in the region.
The transition to steady state should be complete by July 2007.
DHL has been contracted to develop the oil giant's national logistics infrastructure. This encompasses the provision, management and operation of four Material Distribution Centres (MDC) or cross-docks in Dammam, Riyadh, Jiddah and Yanbu, of a fleet of vehicles and personnel as well as fourteen Material Service Centres (MSC).
DHL will also set up a system enabling Saudi Aramco customers to track the transport of their orders in real-time on the Internet.
According to Mohammed Otaibi, manager of Material Logistics, Saudi Aramco, DHL Exel Supply Chain in Saudi Arabia will replace the current fragmented logistics arrangements with an integrated supply chain service.
