Mina Salman

Mina Salman, Commercial port in Manama, Bahrain.

Mina Salman is a commercial port in Manama that handles container ships and general cargo vessels from around the world. The facility consists of multiple berths and modern loading infrastructure designed to process incoming and outgoing goods efficiently.

The natural harbor was known as a trading point in medieval times and gradually transformed into a modern facility. The current port structure developed in the mid-20th century and has since become central to Bahrain's maritime commerce.

The port is named after Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa I, grandfather of the current King of Bahrain. The Manama harbour on this site was first recorded in Islamic texts dated to 1345 AD, and the Al Khalifa dynasty has ruled the country since 1783. The port was the only one in the Persian Gulf operated entirely by Bahraini citizens rather than foreign workers.

Mina Salman lies in Manama, with an 800 m finger pier holding 10 berths, three 200 m conventional berths and two 300 m container berths at 11 m depth. The outer arm quay runs 285 m alongside a 7 m draught. Storage covers 538,000 sq m across 10 sheds plus open and container areas; cargo handling occupies 60,000 sq m.

On 6 December 2014 the UK Defence Secretary Michael Fallon announced an agreement to open a permanent Royal Navy base at Mina Salman, HMS Jufair; construction started in October 2015 and the UK Naval Support Facility was inaugurated on 5 April 2018 by Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa and Prince Andrew.
