AD Ports builds new yard capacity to absorb vehicle surge at Autoterminal Khalifa Port

AD Ports Group recorded a 30% surge in vehicle volumes through Autoterminal Khalifa Port in the first half of the year.

The company said it built new yard capacity “in record time” to meet the increased automotive trade volumes.

“Reacting swiftly to the change in market demand, Autoterminal Khalifa Port has built 90,000 m² of additional yard storage capacity,” said AD Ports in a statement.

Xavier Vazquez, CEO of Autoterminal Khalifa Port and CEO of Noatum Automotive & Ro-Ro at AD Ports Group, commented, “Autoterminal Khalifa Port’s ability to manage such an increase in volumes efficiently and professionally, along with its commercial and operational synergies with Autoterminal Barcelona, have been crucial in facilitating the business flow for our customers, and boosting our supply chain throughput.”

Autoterminal Khalifa Port, home to three of the world’s largest container shipping lines, MSC, COSCO and CMA CGM, has been a significant contributor to the rapid growth of AD Ports Group, which has tripled overall group revenue since 2021.

Saif Al Mazrouei, CEO of Ports Cluster at AD Ports Group, stated, “The record increase in first-half Ro-Ro volumes at ATK exemplifies Khalifa Port’s adaptive scalability, which is the product of years of forward-looking investment in cutting-edge infrastructure that enables Autoterminal Khalifa Port and Khalifa Port to meet market demand in real-time. We plan to continue to leverage this strategic advantage to lead the development of trade and logistics in the region.”
