What we're tracking today

TODAY: AD Ports to develop new Egypt zone + Syria, CMA CGM finalizes port concession agreement

Good morning, folks. We’re starting this week with an issue packed with concession agreement updates for zones and ports in Egypt, Syria, and UAE. We also have the latest earnings updates from a few regional and global industry players as the 1Q earnings season arrives in full swing. Let’s get the ball rolling.

HAPPENING THIS WEEK-

#1- The Airport Show will run from Tuesday, 6 May to Thursday, 8 May at the Dubai World Trade Center (DWTC). The event will host over 160 exhibitors from 20 countries and focus on airport technology, sustainability, and efficiency. The Global Airport Leaders’ Forum and Women in Aviation Conference will be running within the event.

#2- Seatrade Maritime Logistics Middle East is also starting tomorrow and will run until Thursday, 8 May at DWTC. The event will bring together professionals in shipping, logistics, and supply chain management to discuss and debate industry challenges and the latest innovations.

WATCH THIS SPACE-

#1- Egypt is in advanced talks with Iraq to resume imports of 12 mn barrels of Iraqi crude oil annually starting 3Q 2025, an unnamed government official told Asharq Business. The move comes after financial disagreements led to the Iraqi Oil Marketing Company (Somo) halting the supply of crude oil to the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC) at the end of 2023, the official added. The negotiations reportedly cover “granting favorable terms to the EGPC, whereby Baghdad will receive payment for shipments delivered to Egypt three months after delivery.”

IN OTHER REGIONAL ENERGY TRADE NEWS- ALSO- Syria + Turkey look to boost energy trade: Syria is close to signing an energy cooperation agreement with Turkey to import electricity through a 400 kv line, Syria’s Energy Minister Mohammed al-Bashir told Asharq Business. No timeline for the signing of the agreement was disclosed. Syria is also working on a natural gas pipeline between Kilis, Turkey, and Aleppo that will enable the flow of 6 mn cubic meters of gas per day to power plants in Syria, al-Bashir added. Another 80 MW electricity interconnection from Reyhanli municipality in Turkey’s Hatay province to the Harem District in Syria’s Idlib Governorate is also in the pipeline.

ALSO- QatarEnergy, Japan firms in talks for LNG agreement: QatarEnergy is looking to clinch a long-term supply contract with a consortium of Japanese companies, where at least 3 mn metric tons per annum of gas will be split among the buyers, Reuters reported last week, citing five sources familiar with the matter. Among the buyers interested in the arrangement are Japan’s largest energy producer Jera and energy trader Mitsui & Co, the sources said.

What’s at stake? Qatar — historically a major LNG supplier to the world’s second-largest importer of the fuel Japan — is fending off intensifying competition in the LNG space from neighboring Gulf countries and the US which, unlike Qatar, offer shorter-term contracts and do not limit the cargoes’ final destination.

#2- The US has sanctioned four UAE-based companies for trading in Iranian petroleum products, according to a statement by the US State Department issued last week. The firms — Shivnani Organics, Solvent Organics, Al Seerah Trading, and Harold Trading — are accused of facilitating the export of Iranian petrochemical products to other unnamed countries, allowing Iran to avoid sanctions and make revenue.

What does it mean? The sanctions will block the firms’ assets in the US or under US control, in addition to anyone holding a 50% stake in the companies. People in the US are also blocked from engaging with them.

#3- US mulls easing Nvidia chips export controls for UAE: A potential easing of access to Nvidia chips for the UAE and a broader bilateral chip agreement could be on the table during talks between US President Donald Trump and UAE officials when Trump visits the UAE in mid-May, Bloomberg reported on Thursday, citing people it says are familiar with the matter. The news comes as the White House mulls amending AI curbs for the UAE amid bilateral talks over tech investments, including potential Emirati investment in chipmaker Intel.

Context: The US’ export restrictions on AI chips and GPUs — an essential component for data center infrastructure — affect 120 countries, including the UAE, and are set to take effect on 15 May, while Trump is in the region for his visit.

ICYMI- UAE National Security Advisor Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan visited the US and pledged USD 1.4 tn in investments in US tech and energy sectors over the next decade, last month — an agreement that could help nudge things in the UAE’s favor.

MARKET WATCH-

#1- Oil prices saw a sizeable dip this morning in the wake of Opec+ announcement of an accelerated production hike, Reuters reports. Brent crude futures fell by USD 2.21 to USD 59.08 a barrel, while the US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) went down by USD 2.29 to reach USD 56.00 a barrel by 06.53 GMT.

The context: Opec+ said it is planning to accelerate oil production increments for the second month in a row, adding 411k barrels per day in June — a three-month worth of supply increments that will be delivered all at once next month, according to a statement. The oil group once again cited healthy market fundamentals as the driver behind the decision.

The rationale: The recent moves mark a strategic shift toward regaining market share after years of cutting production, former Opec employee and Rystad Energy A/S geopolitical analyst Jorge León told the Financial Times. “Last month’s decision was a wake-up call. Today’s decision is a definitive message,” Leon said. The move is also seen as a bid to punish overproducing members (Kazakhstan and Iraq) by sending crude prices tumbling, Bloomberg reported, citing unnamed Opec+ delegates.

#2- Baltic index snaps losing streak: The Baltic Exchange’s dry bulk sea freight index — which tracks rates for the capesize, panamax, and supramax vessel segments — was up 0.8% to 1,421 points on Friday. The capesize grew 1.8% to 2,079 points, while the panamax index fell six points to 1,368. The smaller supramax index shed one point to 955..

#3- US LNG exports have surged by over 20% y-o-y so far in 2025 on the back of purchases made by European nations due to low gas inventory levels, Reuters reported on Thursday, citing Kpler data. European countries accounted for 77%, or 26.5 mn tons, of the total volume of US orders. Total US LNG shipments during January-April reached 34.6 mn metric tons.

Meanwhile, Asia’s LNG purchases fell by 41% during the January-April 2025 period to 4.9 mn tons, reaching their lowest level since 2019 due to high international gas prices compared to thermal coal, as well as the US tariffs, Reuters writes. Chinese imports recently stalled for a 40-day period, as energy traders diverted shipments to other buyers to avoid China’s 15% duty on US LNG.

PSA-

Hapag-Lloyd rolls out new VTS: Shipping giant Hapag-Lloyd is updating its Vessel Traffic System Charge (VTS) for shipments to Iraq, starting 1 June until further notice, according to a statement published last week.

AD Ports signs 50-year agreement to develop Kezad East Port Said Zone

AD Ports to set up industrial and logistics park in East Port Said: Abu Dhabi wealth fund ADQ-owned AD Ports Group has inked a 50-year renewable usufruct agreement with the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone) to develop and operate an industrial and logistics zone spanning 20 sq km in East Port Said, according to a cabinet statement and another from the logistics player. While the total cost of the project is yet to be disclosed, AD Ports has earmarked USD 120 mn for the first phase’s technical and market studies and infrastructure development.

The details: AD Ports will develop, construct, finance, operate, and manage the zone in phases. The first phase will span 2.8 sq km and include a 1.5 km quay that could eventually host a multipurpose cargo terminal. Construction on the phase will kick off by the end of the year and should be completed within three years. Neither statement provided any details on the subsequent phases.

More development with Hassan Allam Holding: “The development of phase 1 will be anchored by key potential clients and partners, including one of the region’s foremost construction and development groups, Hassan Allam Holding,” the AD Ports statement read. AD Ports and Hassan Allam Holding also inked an MoU to “develop and invest in the industrial zone and explore other projects.”

AD Ports loves Egypt: As of last December, AD Ports had invested an estimated USD 349 mn in Egypt over the past three years. The group signed a USD 200 mn, 30-year concession to develop the Safaga II terminal and landed a 15-year contract to develop and operate three cruise terminals in Hurghada, Safaga, and Sharm El Sheikh. It also signed an MoU to develop a green methanol export facility in Egypt.

DP World completed USD 100 mn project to upgrade a Philippines terminal

DP World and Asia Terminals Inc (ATI) have docked a USD 100 mn project to expand the Philippines’ Manila South Harbour, according to a statement released on Friday. The project featured an extension of the terminal Pier 3’s berth to over 600 meters and an expansion of the existing yard to accommodate 20k TEUs.

Out with the old, in with the new: The initiative also integrated new equipment, including the addition of two new ship-to-shore cranes and a sustainable landside apparatus. The move is set to hike the harbor’s annual throughput capacity by over 25% to almost 2 mn TEUs. Each crane — the largest to be deployed in the Philippines — can handle vessels carrying up to 20 containers wide and is equipped with intelligent sensing systems.

Looking forward: “We are lining up more investment projects in the coming years to future-proof the gateway terminals in Manila, Batangas, Cavite, and Laguna, in support of the resilient growth of the Philippine economy,” CEO Ahmed bin Sulaye said, without announcing any specific upcoming project details.

Background: We heard that DP World was reportedly looking to invest as much as AED 1.6 bn in ports across the Philippines back in October, including potential investments for a logistics hub and an industrial park that we heard about earlier this year.

IN OTHER COMPANY UPDATES- The first phase of DP World’s USD 2 bn expansion project of its container terminal at Mozambique’s Maputo Port is now underway, it said in a statement released on Thursday. The first phase will see DP World invest USD 165 mn to double its annual capacity from 255k to 530k TEUs, extend the quay area, deepen the berth to accommodate larger vessels, and expand the container yard. Additional equipment will be introduced to boost its capacity as a logistics hub for Southern Africa.

SOUNDS FAMILIAR- Mozambican officials told Reuters back in January that construction on the first phase of the project began and is set to wrap within two years. Last year, DP World secured cabinet approval for a USD 2 bn expansion plan at Maputo Port, extending its concession until 2058 and committing USD 1.1 bn in further investment by 2033. DP World also previously reaffirmed its commitment to Mozambique, with plans to develop industrial parks and expand regional trade links.

Unleashing Egypt’s export potential

Amid global economic shifts and rising competition, Egypt is at a pivotal moment. Backed by a strategic location, and a diversifying economy, the push to boost exports and cut import reliance has become a national priority.

Diversification is reshaping Egypt’s export landscape. While petroleum, textiles, and raw agriculture have long dominated, new investments in manufacturing, renewable energy, IT, and pharmaceuticals are shifting focus to value-added exports. The Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone) is central—drawing export-driven industries and leveraging Egypt’s access to African, European, and Middle Eastern markets through deals like COMESA, GAFTA, and the EU-Egypt Association Agreement.

Agriculture’s untapped potential lies beyond the farm. Egypt exports large volumes of citrus, onions, and potatoes, but the greater opportunity is in agri-food manufacturing—processing, packaging, and branding for export. Moving up the value chain into higher-value foods offers a way to grow exports, create jobs, and reduce price volatility.

With fertile land and strong crop output, Egypt has the basics—but real growth lies in processed, value-added food. Investment in cold storage, manufacturing zones, and digital supply chains marks a shift. If sustained, Egypt could move from a bulk exporter to a global agri-food player. Programs like “Go Global” and the “Export Development Fund” are helping SMEs scale and meet global standards.

Infrastructure updates and trade facilitation are key to export growth. Egypt has made progress —modernizing ports, automating customs, and improving logistics. The Advanced Cargo Information (ACI) system is cutting clearance times and boosting transparency across borders.

The Red Sea is becoming central to Egypt’s export strategy, offering faster access to Gulf, East African, and Asian markets. Ports like Safaga and Ain Sokhna ease congestion and open alternative trade corridors. With its position near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, Egypt is well placed as a stable hub amid shifting global shipping routes.

Transmar, Egypt’s homegrown shipping line, is a key player in regional trade. Operating across the Red Sea and Arabian Gulf, it connects local exporters to markets like Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Sudan. With reliable service and regional know-how, Transmar supports sectors from agriculture and chemicals to FMCG and manufacturing.

CMA CGM to invest EUR 230 mn in Syria’s Latakia Port

Syria taps CMA CGM for port operations: Syria’s Land and Sea Ports Authority and the French logistics giant CMA CGM finalized a 30-year agreement for the operation of the Latakia Port, a company official told Reuters on Thursday. The new contract is a renegotiated form of a previous 30-year agreement CMA CGM signed a few months before Bashar Al Assad's regime was toppled.

The details: The agreement will see CMA CGM build a new 1.5-km-long, 17-meter-deep berth and invest about EUR 230 mn in the Mediterranean port, the official said. CMA CGM will invest EUR 30 mn during the first year, while the rest will be rolled out over the next four years.

We’ve been expecting this: Syria inked an agreement with CMA CGM in February to allow them to operate Latakia Port’s container terminal until a renegotiated agreement is finalized. CMA CGM first began managing Latakia’s container terminal in 2009.

Syria’s ramping up reconstruction efforts: Iraq made headway on the resumption of the Kirkuk-Baniyas pipeline that extends through Syria to Mediterranean ports last month, which could enable Iraq to avoid full dependence on its Turkey-bound Ceyhan pipeline to reach Europe. As Syria works on reviving the pipeline could help secure much-needed energy imports to support reconstruction efforts as the country is set to face a 41% US tariff, with eyes on possible investments in refinery projects to process Iraqi oil.

Abu Dhabi Aviation and Qatar’s Milaha post 1Q earnings

ABU DHABI AVIATION-

Abu Dhabi Aviation (ADA) Group’s net income rose 703% y-o-y to AED 215 mn in 1Q 2025, according to the firm’s earnings release (pdf) and financials (pdf). The company’s revenues grew 25% y-o-y to about AED 2 bn in the same period, which the firm attributed to contributions from the recently acquired ADA legacy group, which generated AED 241 mn.

MRO assets are a driving force: The maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) segment recorded a 12% y-o-y growth and contributed 77% and 60% to ADA’s topline and bottomline, respectively. The segment’s growth and earnings were driven by ADA’s latest acquisition of several MRO services providers, including a 50% stake in Global Aerospace Logistics (GAL) and 100% in Etihad Airways Engineering (EYE) — which together have contributed about AED 213 mn in revenues in 1Q.

Looking ahead, ADA is looking to expand into Brazil, Thailand, and Indonesia this year, and is mulling oil and gas projects in Africa, Asharq Business reported last week.

MILAHA-

Qatar Navigation’s (Milaha) net income rose 2.5% y-o-y — based on our own calculations — to QAR 374 mn in 1Q 2025, according to its financials (pdf ). The firm's top line saw a y-o-y increase of 1.6% — also based on our calculations — to QAR 759 mn in 1Q.

REFRESHER- Milaha’s bottom line grew 9%to QAR 1.12 bn (c. USD 324.8 mn) in FY 2024, thanks to robust performance from the firm’s container shipping unit and the deployment of new vessel routes and services. Meanwhile, the firm’s revenues saw a drop of 3.5% y-o-y to QAR 2.84 bn during the same period.

All is well on the logistics front: The firm’s bottomline gains were driven by a QAR 30 mn y-o-y rise in Milaha’s maritime and logistics division’s net income, with port operations being a notable driver in its growth. Milaha’s Gas and Petrochem sector also saw its net income rise by QAR 1 mn y-o-y on the back of high returns from the firm’s JVs and associated companies.

Milaha’s been shoring up service offerings: Milaha launched a new weekly Short Sea Med

service, MTX 2, earlier this year to connect Turkey, Continental Spain, and the Canary Islands. Another service — Milaha Inta Gulf Express — was added by the Saudi Port Authority (Mawani) to King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam early last month. The new service has a total capacity of 1k TEUs.

Updates on rail, aviation, trade, investments, and customs from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Oman

INVESTMENT WATCH-

Oman inked over 18 agreements worth OMR 100 mn to boost its logistics sector, covering aviation, trucking, and storage and warehousing, according to a statement. The agreements were signed on the margins of Oman’s Logistics Day 2025.

Warehouse agreements: Oman Airports signed an agreement with Gulf Wealth International to establish an e-commerce warehouse for drones and spare parts. The hub is part of a 21.6k sqm R&D center that will include a 3D printing manufacturing unit. Oman Airports also inked an agreement with One Worldwide Properties to establish a 40k sqm bonded warehouse at Muscat International Airport for the storage of a diverse range of products.

Trucking agreement: Oman logistics solutions provider and dry ports operator Al Madina Logistics inked an agreement with Global Integrated Equipment to invest in the expansion of the energy sector’s truck fleet. The agreement includes a service station in Duqm with fuel-efficient and safety-compliant tractors and trailers for Petroleum Development Oman.

Trade-focused agreement: Al Madina Logistics, Lone Star Alpha Laboratories, and Al Alamiya Laboratories and Inspections have partnered up to expand the Sohar Logistics hub’s private labs that provide testing for imported and exported products including agricultural, animal, fishery, and food products.

ICYMI- There’s more: Oman’s Sohar Port and Freezone have inked contracts with three international firms to start the construction phase of the Marsa LNG project. The USD 1.6 bn project — the first LNG-dedicated bunkering hub in the Middle East — will produce 1 mn metric tons of LNG annually and will be entirely powered by a 300 MW solar plant.

RAIL-

Etihad Rail inked two respective MoUs with South Sudan and Chad’s individual Transport Ministries, according to a statement released on Saturday. Etihad Rail met with representatives from Kenya, Chad, South Sudan, Uganda, and Cameroon in a bid to boost the UAE’s long-term strategic relationships with African countries in the fields of transport, infrastructure, logistics, and railways.

A closer look: Under the MoUs, the UAE aims to ramp up its frameworks of cooperation between the two countries in terms of infrastructure projects, the railway sector, and knowledge exchange. The agreements also include a feasibility study for shared development of railway, logistics, and infrastructure projects in the three countries.

TRADE-

An export-oriented factory for blood bags in the works for Egypt: The Egyptian Company for Medical Investments and Interpharm — the local unit of Japanese medical device manufacturer JMS — will set up an EGP 1.4 bn factory for blood collection bags and tubes in Ain Sokhna’s industrial zone, according to a cabinet statement released last week. The factory aims to meet local demand for blood bags while exporting to neighboring markets in the MENA region, with production targets of 7 mn blood bags by the seventh year — 3 mn earmarked for domestic use and 4 mn for export.

CUSTOMS-

Saudi expedites its customs approval process: The Zakat, Tax, and Customs Authority (Zatca) is mandating Saudi importers to submit a customs declaration in advance for goods set to be received through the Kingdom’s maritime ports — effective from 29 October, according to a statement released on Friday. The new policy — which aims to grant pre-approval procedures for goods before they arrive at Saudi ports — is in line with the Kingdom’s plans to clear goods within two hours from arrival at its ports.

AVIATION-

Riyadh Air signed 11 agreements with travel and tech companies during the Arabian Travel Market in Dubai, Al Arabiya reported on Thursday. The agreements focus on technology integration to cover sales, distribution, and digital loyalty tools, aiming to ease operations and booking with Riyadh Air across more than 125 countries.

New partners include Amadeus, Air Retailer, dnata, Sabre, TP Connects, Verteil Technologies, and Loyalty Juggernaut.

China exempts USD 40 bn worth of US imports from tariffs

China has quietly exempted about a quarter of US imports from tariffs to ease the impact of the trade war on its economy, Bloomberg reported last Friday. The list of 131 exempt items is worth about USD 40 bn — almost 24% of Chinese imports from the US in 2024. The list is not officially confirmed, but sources familiar with the matter report that multiple companies in China have imported goods on the list tariff-free, which includes pharma and industrial chemicals such as Ethane.

The rationale: The move could be seen as a de-escalation step mirroring the US’ temporary exemption on electronics last month. Others believe the move is more about China’s economy. “China is likely trying to mitigate damage to its economy by avoiding a collapse in key imports…the exemptions shouldn’t be interpreted as a signal to the US, as China has been quiet about its exemptions, working through business channels and avoiding public statements,” associate director of the RAND China Research Center Gerard DiPippo said.

German shipping giant Hapag-Lloyd saw its revenues rise to USD 5.3 bn (EUR 5.1 bn) in 1Q 2025, a 15.2% y-o-y increase, based on our own calculations, according to preliminary financial results (pdf) released last week. On the operational front, Hapag-Lloyd saw a 9% y-o-y boost in its transport volumes to 3.3 mn TEUs and a 9% increase in average freight rate to USD 1.5k per TEU during the same time period.

Geopolitics + trade uncertainty cast their shadow for 2025: The firm predicts lower performance across 2025, citing “many uncertainties” in the market environment, CEO Rolf Habben Jansen said. “Volatile development of freight rates and major geopolitical challenges,” such as turmoil in the Red Sea route and the ensuing global trade war were cited as the main drivers for this uncertainty.

Freight forwarding giant DHL posted a 6.2% y-o-y increase in its consolidated net income to EUR 786 mn in 1Q 2025, according to its financial results (pdf) released last week. The firm’s topline also increased 2.8% y-o-y to reach EUR 20.8 bn. The boost in DHL’s earnings comes on the heels of its cost and yield management as they “continue to invest in high-growth business areas while working on structurally improving our efficiency,” CEO DHL Group Tobias Meyer said in a press release (pdf) released last week.
