New greenfield liquid bulk terminal in Khalifa Port to begin operations in July

A new greenfield liquid bulk terminal in Khalifa Port Abu Dhabi will start operations in July of this year, Arabian Chemical Terminals Abu Dhabi(ACTAD) said in a statement. This will be the first commercial liquid bulk terminal facility of its kind in Abu Dhabi, according to ACTAD.

About the terminal: The terminal will deploy 40 stainless storage tanks, each sized at 2.5k cubic meters, in its first stage. The second phase will begin following the expansion of the surrounding area, and will include larger industrial storage tanks, and spheres with piped connections to Khalifa Ports Industrial Zone Abu Dhabi (Kizad).

The new terminal will keep liquid bulk moving safely: The terminal will be built over several phases in Khalifa Port. It will initially serve industrial zones ZonesCorp and ICAD, as well as Kezad Group’s economic zones, before later serving more clients that require liquid bulk tankage to connect their projects to the port through pipelines or road haulage.

What’s ACTAD? Established in 1985 in Saudi Arabia, and later expanding to Abu Dhabi, Arabian Chemical Terminals offers logistics facilities for liquid tanks. ACTAD’s parent company also built and commissioned the Jubail and Yanbu terminals in Saudi Arabia, according to its website.
