AD Ports and Saab UAE ink agreement to increase port efficiency and safety

AD Ports Group and Saab UAE, a defence and security firm based in Abu Dhabi’s Tawazun Industrial Park, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish a strategic cooperative relationship that will see both entities collaborate on the development of maritime surveillance solutions and sensors.

Under the terms of the agreement, AD Ports Group will give access to appropriate testing sites, as well as the required infrastructure and operational input to optimise the development process. Saab UAE will leverage its marine traffic management knowledge to develop new industry standards and next-generation maritime surveillance technologies.

“We are committed to adopting cutting-edge technologies that enhance our operations. Collaborating with Saab will allow us to explore innovative surveillance solutions and contribute to the overall safety of our ports,” stated Othman Al Khouri, executive director of Corporate Authority at AD Ports Group.

“Our decades-long operations here in the UAE are growing from strength to strength. Today, to underpin growth in the country’s defence and security ecosystem, we are proud to have expanded our UAE mandate to include an R&D and manufacturing facility based in Abu Dhabi,” commented Anna-Karin Rosén, managing director of Saab in the UAE.
