AD Ports expands Khalifa Port operations to include drydock services

AD Ports Group has unveiled plans to expand its Khalifa Port operations to include drydock services.

With this development, Khalifa Port is expected to broaden its offering of port and marine logistics services, ranging from container and cargo handling to vessel repairs and maintenance.

“The addition of drydock services will enable Khalifa Port to meet the growing demand for these services from regional and international clients,” said AD Ports Group.

Khalifa Port has been expanded to 8.63 km² as part of a project that included the development of the port’s South Quay, Khalifa Port Logistics, and Abu Dhabi Terminals at a total investment of approximately US$1 billion, and its quay wall has been significantly extended from 2.3 kilometres to 12.5 kilometres.

The expansion concept is expected to contribute significantly to AD Port Group’s target of boosting the handling capacity at Khalifa Port to 15 million TEUs per year by 2030, as well as the general cargo handling capacity to 25 million tonnes.

According to the statement, the port presently has 21 berths and a variety of services for critical strategic sectors, putting it among the world’s elite of deep-water ports with an estimated value of around US$5.5 billion.
