As a cruise ship port it's not very convenient. It's 30-45 minutes from the city.
You believe, this is a man made strip of land. Courteous security personals.
Visitor my professional requirements and defiantly I am getting good support from KBSP team
No obvious set procedures. Depends how hard you push to get to the to front of the que
Good place for seafarers, free wifi close to the terminal in the seaman center
Khalifa bin Salman Port (KBSP) which opened for business on April 1, 2009 is well positioned to be the premier transhipment hub for the Northern Gulf. Located on 110 hectares (ha) of reclaimed land, the port has a 1,800m quay which includes a 900m2 container terminal served by four 61m post-Panamax cranes, as well as general cargo, ro-ro and passenger facilities.
KBSP’s strategic location in the middle of the Arabian Gulf, together with its deep-water berths and approach channel which enable it to accept the largest oceangoing container vessels, and its direct overland links to the mainland (Saudi Arabia and Qatar), position the port as a major regional distribution centre.
Located in Hidd Industrial Area, the port is only 13km away from the Bahrain international Airport and is linked to Mina Salman, the old port, by a 5km purpose built causeway. Access to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia via the King Fahad Causeway is a mere 30km drive.
Under the management of private operator, APM Terminals, a global terminal operator, the port is one of the most modern in the Gulf, able to handle container vessels with an efficiency matching that of the most productive ports in the world. The Ports & Maritime Affairs supervises and regulates the port’s functions in line with the concession agreement.
Good palace
cant accesses if you don't have anything to do
This a place where you can get all your shipping done at adorable rate with total security of your cargo.
Big harbour and nice city view
As a port it functions well. Would loved to have had the cruise ship dock nearer to the city of Manama but the bus made the trip from ship to drop-off in 20min.
Did not see any local taxis being allowed anywhere near the dock.
Worked around here. Has a good duty free.
Bahrain is very beautiful Country and I love you Bahrain
Good place to experience
Hugh port that will be used as hotel zone during 2022 world cup. I was told there will be passenger cruises on deck instead of building hotels.
