Celebrating Saudi Founding Day with Locally Manufactured Marine Solutions
Saudi Founding Day

Sunday, February 22 marks Saudi Founding Day – a moment to reflect on heritage, progress and long-term vision. For Ecocoast, it’s also a chance to celebrate producing marine solutions locally and completing our first full year of operations under the Royal Commission for Yanbu.

About twelve months ago, our Yanbu facility became fully operational. Since then, we have produced over 17 kilometers of marine barriers locally in Saudi Arabia. This is the equivalent of stacking the Jeddah Tower 17 times in height.

It stands for more than just a production statistic. It represents speed, local capability and readiness to support Saudi Arabia’s expanding coastal and marine infrastructure.

Central Royal Commission visits Ecocoast factory in YanbuSupporting Saudi Arabia’s Coastal Vision

From Sindalah to large-scale Red Sea and Arabian Gulf developments, the demand for reliable marine protection systems continues to grow. Our Yanbu factory was established to meet that demand with local manufacturing, faster mobilization and full marine support on the ground.

A delegation from the Central Royal Commission recently visited selected companies that invested in Yanbu. We were proud to be among them and encouraged by the positive feedback on our facility setup and operational readiness.

Built for Sediment Control, Shoreline Stabilization & Much More

Our local production capability covers:

1️⃣  Sediment control solutions

Al Uqair Mixed Use Project Saudi Arabia

Supporting major mixed-use developments across Saudi Arabia, including a 100-million-square-meter coastal project stretching 15 kilometers along the Arabian Gulf. Large-scale marine construction requires reliable turbidity control. Local supply and marine expertise ensures projects stay on schedule.

2️⃣  Oil spill control and emergency readiness

Our Yanbu facility manufactures and supplies oil spill containment booms and provides mobilization-ready response containers for port operations and beyond. These systems are designed for rapid deployment and are backed by training programs for emergency spill scenarios. Ensuring preparedness, not just equipment delivery. Read case study from a recent project.

3️⃣  Shoreline stabilization and coastal protection

Corallium Marine Life Institute KSA

At the Corallium Marine Life Institute in AMAALA, we supplied coastal protection containers designed to stabilize shorelines while supporting marine habitat considerations. The project reflected the direction Saudi coastal infrastructure is heading: resilient, protective and environmentally aligned.

4️⃣  Advanced mooring systems (AMS)

Our Advanced Mooring Systems (AMS) are designed to do triple duty: protect the seabed with neutrally buoyant lines that stay off the bottom. Eco-engineered mooring blocks double as nurseries for juvenile fish and stable foundations for natural coral growth. This delivers both Nature Positive outcomes and measurable Biodiversity Net Gains.

Local Manufacturing, Long-Term Commitment

Producing marine barriers in Yanbu means more than proximity. It means:

✅  Faster turnaround for ad-hoc and emergency projects
✅  Reduced logistics complexity
✅  Local workforce engagement

As Saudi Arabia accelerates giga-projects and port expansions, having a fully operational marine protection facility inside the Kingdom strengthens resilience across the sector.

Looking Ahead

Saudi Founding Day is about legacy and ambition. From sediment control and shoreline stabilization to oil spill response and advanced mooring systems, Ecocoast remains fully committed to supporting Saudi Arabia’s coastal future with our local marine solutions. We provide locally manufactured, mobilization-ready marine solutions designed for impact and resilience.
