National Shipping Company of Saudi Arabia (Bahri) is the largest owner and operator of Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs) in the world, with a fleet of over 90 vessels. The company provides integrated logistics and marine transportation services, including crude oil, chemicals, dry bulk, and general cargo shipping. It also operates a leading maritime academy and offers ship management services. Headquartered in Riyadh, Bahri plays a critical role in Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 by supporting the kingdom's export diversification and logistics ambitions.
Bahri generates revenue primarily through long-term contracts with major oil and petrochemical companies, as well as spot market charters. Its six business units—Bahri Oil, Bahri Chemicals, Bahri Dry Bulk, Bahri Logistics, Bahri Ship Management, and Bahri Academy—serve distinct segments. The company's revenue is heavily tied to global tanker rates and the volume of Saudi crude exports. In recent quarters, revenue surged 129% year-over-year, driven by higher freight rates and increased fleet utilization.
Bahri operates in the highly cyclical marine shipping industry, competing with global tanker operators such as Euronav, Frontline, and Scorpio Tankers. Its competitive advantage lies in its strategic location in Saudi Arabia, giving it preferential access to the world's largest crude oil exporter. The company also benefits from government backing and a modern, young fleet. With a market cap of 31.38B SAR and a PE ratio of 7.74, Bahri is valued as a mid-cap player in the sector.
Bahri's primary customers are national oil companies (e.g., Saudi Aramco), petrochemical firms (e.g., SABIC), and commodity traders. Its main geographic markets are the Middle East, Asia (especially China, India, and South Korea), and Europe. The company also serves the Saudi government's logistics needs, including food security and military cargo. With a dividend yield of 2.96%, Bahri appeals to income-focused investors seeking exposure to the global tanker market.
