Posted on | by Tamishra

The Saudi Maritime and Logistics Conference will take place from 21 – 22 October 2026 at Jeddah Superdome

Conqueror Freight Network is pleased to announce its media partnership with the Saudi Maritime & Logistics Congress 2026, taking place on 21–22 October 2026 at the Jeddah Superdome in Saudi Arabia. The partnership connects Conqueror’s global community of independent freight forwarders with a major industry event bringing together maritime and logistics professionals from Saudi Arabia and international markets.

A Major Meeting Point for the Maritime and Logistics Industry

Now in its seventh edition, the Saudi Maritime & Logistics Congress is set to take place in Jeddah for the first time. The 2026 edition is expected to welcome more than 15,000 attendees, 800 VIPs, 200 exhibitors and 120 speakers from more than 90 countries, creating a platform for industry professionals to exchange knowledge, explore business opportunities and build new connections.

The event will feature an exhibition showcasing more than 200 international companies and their maritime equipment and logistics services. Alongside the exhibition, attendees can participate in keynote speeches, panel discussions and workshops led by industry experts and policymakers.

A New Location in Jeddah

The 2026 edition will be held at the Jeddah Superdome, following the relocation of the Congress to Jeddah. According to the event organisers, the move places the Congress in the heart of Saudi Arabia’s maritime and logistics activity, close to Jeddah Islamic Port. Jeddah is Saudi Arabia’s primary commercial intersection for global trade between Asia, Europe and Africa. Jeddah Islamic Port alone handles more than 65% of the nation’s imports, according to the organisers, making it an important location for an event focused on maritime trade and logistics.

Navigating the Future of Maritime Logistics

The 2026 conference programme is structured around five key areas addressing developments shaping the maritime and logistics industries. These include Trade Corridors, Connectivity & Geopolitical Fragmentation, examining how geopolitical changes are affecting vessel routes, cargo movements and the organisation of the industry; Ports, Logistics & Industrial Competitiveness, focusing on the evolution of ports into broader logistics and industrial hubs; and Energy Transition in Maritime and Logistics, which explores the challenges and choices surrounding decarbonisation.

The programme will also cover Infrastructure Investment and Economic Development, looking at investment in ports, logistics hubs, rail links and industrial zones, as well as Technology, Resilience & Maritime Security, which addresses digitalisation, cyber threats and the resilience of critical maritime infrastructure.

More than 120 speakers are expected to participate in the 2026 conference, with the programme covering topics ranging from government initiatives and alternative fuels to cyber threats and offshore operations.

Connecting Industry Professionals

Networking is a central part of the Congress, with the event designed to connect maritime and logistics professionals, suppliers, decision-makers and industry leaders from around the world. The organisers expect more than 15,000 attendees and highlight opportunities to develop new partnerships and international business connections.

The 2026 event will also bring together representatives from a broad range of organisations. The announced speaker and exhibitor lists include companies and institutions such as ABS, King Abdullah Port, Folk Maritime, Gulf Marine Services, Stephenson Harwood, MSC, CMA CGM Saudi Arabia and MAWANI.

For Conqueror members, the Saudi Maritime & Logistics Congress 2026 provides a chance to gain a closer understanding of Saudi Arabia’s growing role in global maritime trade while meeting professionals from across the industry. The event can help members discover new market developments, exchange ideas with potential partners, explore emerging logistics and maritime solutions, and build relationships that could support business opportunities across Saudi Arabia, the Middle East and beyond.

From Port to Project Site: Conqueror Toronto Delivers Precision Aluminium Coil Logistics

Posted on | by Jesus

By integrating ocean freight, specialized warehousing, and dedicated trucking solutions, W.T. Express Canada ensures the safe delivery of aluminium coils across Canada and beyond

W.T. Express Canada, Conqueror member in Toronto, Canada, continues to reinforce its reputation as a specialist in project and industrial logistics through its comprehensive handling of aluminium sheet and coil shipments destined for customers across Canada. The company provides an end-to-end solution covering ocean freight, warehousing, transloading, and nationwide trucking, ensuring these high-value products arrive safely despite the operational challenges posed by long distances and extreme weather.

Manufactured in China, the aluminium sheets and coils are shipped by ocean freight in full container loads, with each 20 or 40-foot container carrying two to four coils depending on weight and size restrictions. Each coil weighs approximately 10,000 kg and occupies around 8 CBM, while W.T. Express Canada has the operational capacity to manage projects involving as many as 1,000 coils. The company delivers these products primarily to the construction, transportation, and packaging industries, where customers use them for roofing, siding, automotive components, and beverage packaging.

“Aluminium coil logistics is far more demanding than conventional cargo transportation. Every stage, from ocean freight and warehousing to final delivery, requires specialized equipment, experienced personnel, and rigorous operational controls.  In addition, major rail carriers CN and CP do not accept intact coil shipments to inland cities, meaning cargo must be transloaded at primary ports and delivered to destination by specialized trucking, ” says Mr. Paul Lau, Managing Director of W.T. Express Canada. “Our team has built extensive expertise in managing these complex shipments while maintaining the highest standards of cargo protection, traceability, and efficiency.”

Handling aluminium coils requires meticulous planning and specialized expertise at every stage of the supply chain. Even minor scratches, dents, or contamination can significantly reduce the value of the cargo, while exposure to moisture during Canada’s seasonal weather changes may result in water staining or white rust. Therefore, the cargo must also be secured carefully to prevent coils from telescoping, collapsing, or shifting during transport due to their substantial weight.

To address these challenges, W.T. Express Canada employs heavy-duty forklifts, coil rams, C-hooks, padded lifting slings, and non-marring handling surfaces designed specifically for aluminium products. Moreover, W.T. Express Canada designs its warehouse layouts with ample space to accommodate oversized handling equipment. It implements strict inventory controls to ensure complete traceability of heat numbers, alloy types, thickness, temper, and production lots. The team uses a first-in, first-out (FIFO) inventory management system throughout storage to meet downstream manufacturing requirements.

Upon arrival at the port, the company coordinates large-scale container transfers from terminals to its warehouses, then arranges transloading and final delivery with specialized trucking equipment. Depending on the shipment requirements, they deploy curtain-side trailers, tri-axle trucks, and Super B-train combinations to transport the cargo safely across Canada. Their team carefully plans every movement to maintain correct weight distribution and minimize handling risks throughout the journey.

Congratulations to W.T. Express Canada and all the best for their upcoming projects!
