The 60s and 70s were remarkable and transformative decades for Saudi Arabia and our origins can be traced back to this pivotal period when Jeddah Port emerged as a major trading hub for the region. With a forward-thinking vision to harness the immense opportunities of a rapidly developing economy our founder, Mr. Abdulkader Al-Bakri with his sons, established the business in 1972 to offering agency and bunkering services to marine traffic passing or calling at Jeddah.

A significant milestone in our company’s history was the purchase of our first tanker in 1976. This served as a catalyst for the growth and development of Bihar International Company which, nearly four decades later, is now the largest private-sector tanker owner and one of the leading vessel operators in Saudi Arabia.

To further enhance our quality and safety standards, we proactively pursue an innovation-led approach to deliver positive and successful results. In 1997, guided by a determination to deliver better, cost efficient shipping solutions to our clients, we pioneered the design of a new generation 47,000 MT DWT Product/Chemical Tanker. Built by Hanjin Heavy Industries in Korea, M/T QUDS, was the first in series and, following delivery, she was accredited by the U.K.’s Royal Institution of Naval Architects as the “Significant Ship of 2000″ – a great achievement for our company.

Harnessing feedback from early operations of the first in series, an enhanced and improved version of the design was commissioned and M/T BORAQ was built and delivered by Hyundai Mipo Shipyard, Korea in 2003 and was awarded the same prestigious accreditation.
