AD Ports to develop 300k ton grain storage at Khalifa Port

What we're tracking today

TODAY: AD Ports to develop 300k ton grain storage at Khalifa Port + Another floating regasification unit for Egypt?

Good morning, folks. The news cycle has slowed massively as we inch closer to the weekend, but we have a brisk issue with updates on storage projects in the UAE and Algeria along with a small pile of news on Egypt’s ports and airports plans. Let’s dive right in

WATCH THIS SPACE-

#1- Egypt reportedly getting another floating storage regasification unit next summer: Egypt will lease a Turkish floating storage regasification unit starting in June and for the duration of the summer, Asharq Business reports, citing an unnamed government official. This will potentially be Egypt’s fourth regasification unit on active lease this summer.

The Details: The unit — leased for some USD 45 mn — will liquify some 500 mn cubic feet of gas a day for electricity generation in efforts to meet heightened domestic demand during the summer months.

Preparing for the worst case scenario: Another regasification unit leased from US-based New Fortress Energy is planned to dock in Egypt starting 2H 2025, which will be shared with Jordan under a prior agreement. Egypt also reportedly chartered a third floating storage regasification unit to process LNG imports to dock at Ain Sokhna by June 2025.

REMEMBER- Egypt had its first regasification unit undocked in Ain Sokhna back in June under a lease agreement with Norway’s Höegh LNG extending into February 2026.

ICYMI- Egypt has a lot of LNG shipments coming its way: Egypt has reportedly signedagreements to purchase a total of 60 LNG shipments in 2025 for around USD 3 bn, which will be delivered in through five monthly shipments, each carrying between 160-165k cubic meters of LNG.

IN OTHER EGYPT UPDATES- Egypt’s detailed airports privatization plan could be out soon: The International Finance Corporation’s full privatization plan for Egypt’s airports should be out in the next six months, Al Mal reports, citing an unnamed official from the Civil Aviation Ministry. The plan will include the technical, financial, and legal nitty gritty to get the airport privatization push off the ground.

Last we heard about the plans: Civil Aviation Minister Sameh El Hefny said last month that Egypt plans to initially offer the management of 11 airports to the private sector, excluding Cairo International Airport, despite earlier reports that said Egypt’s biggest airport would be included.

REMEMBER- Some players are already interested: Egypt’s Hassan Allam Holding and France’s Groupe Aéroports de Paris submitted a joint proposal to manage and operate Egyptian airports in early December. The China Communications Construction Company (CCCC) also said it was interested in working with the Madbouly government on the airport development plans back in December.

ALSO– A timeline update for Egypt’s Dekheila dry bulk terminal: The local consortium setting up the EGP 3 bn, 300k sqm dry bulk terminal in Dekheila Port is expected to deliver it in 4Q 2025, Al Mal reports citing comments from the director of consortium member Latt Trading and Shipping Abdelrahman Laheta.

Remember: A consortium of four local private and state-owned firms — Mediterraneo Egypt, Latt Trading and Shipping, an Elsewedy company, and the Transport Ministry’s Holding Company for Maritime and Land Transport — last September inked an agreement to invest USD 450 mn to build, manage, and operate the terminal.

A lot is happening in Dekheila: Egypt has inked an agreement for the construction, management, operation, maintenance, and eventual handover of Dekheila Port’s Tahya Misr 2 multipurpose terminal with the global consortium of Hutchison Ports — a subsidiary of Hong Kong-based CK Hutchison Holdings — and Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC). Construction operations are currently underway.

#2- Algeria boosts silo connectivity to railway network: Algeria has connected three grain silos — out of seven ready for connection — to its railway network, with plans to connect 30 more silos down the road, Algeria Press Service reports, citing an official from the National Agency for Studies and Monitoring of the Implementation of Railway Investments (ANESRIF). The connected silos are located in the capital cities of the Guelma, Jijel, and Constantine provinces.

Part of a bigger picture: The move aligns with Algeria’s push to modernize rail freight by linking industrial zones, factories, and warehouses and boosting capacity to transport grain and fuel, the outlet writes. The country’s railway network achieved a 12% y-o-y increase in transported goods in 2024, reaching nearly 6 mn tons, according to the outlet.

Other rail connection projects in the works: ANESRIF has plans to connect fuel depots in Bouchared, Béchar, and Djelfa provinces to the railway network, and link the GICA cement production complex to Setif, Oum El Bouaghi, and Bechar provinces, according to a statement.

#3- The Iraq-Turkey oil pipeline is slated to resume operations with Iraq planning to export nearly 300k bpd crude oil to Turkey, Iraq’s Oil Minister Hayyan Abdul Ghani told Bloomberg. The Kurdistan pipeline can transport nearly 500k bpd via the Ceyhan port to global markets. It remains unclear whether the pipeline will operate at full capacity upon resumption.

The shutdown: The pipeline was shut down in February 2023 for earthquake repairs, after which Turkey suspended operations following an arbitration court order for it to pay USD 1.5 bn as compensation to Iraq. Although Turkey indicated that the pipeline was operational, Iraq delayed reopening due to financial disagreements and technical issues.

Taking formal steps: Iraq has tapped the Kurdistan Regional Government to transfer oil to the federal marketing company SOMO, with negotiations underway between Baghdad and Erbil regarding outstanding debts related to the region’s oil revenues, Abdul Ghani told INA. Iraq’s parliament approved an amendment to the budget earlier this week, allowing Baghdad to pay USD 16 per barrel of oil produced and transported to resolve the pipeline crisis.

There’s a catch: Iraq — the leading offender in exceeding Opec+ limits — must be wary of resuming oil exports given its agreement to reduce crude output.

#4- Morocco’s expanding firm Mutandis eyes KSA: Morocco’s Mutandis is looking to start exporting fish products to Saudi Arabia in a push to expand in the Gulf markets, which is part of a bigger plan to invest nearly MAD 1.5 bn (c.USD 149 mn) for global expansions over the next five years, CEO Adil Douiri told Asharq Business.

The growth plan: Mutandis aims to double its revenues by entering into new markets or acquiring existing brands. The company seeks to expand its presence in the US market, where it earns 25% of its sales. The company is also eyeing Europe expansion — which currently accounts for a little under 5% of topline — aided by geographic proximity and trade agreements.

About Mutandis: The firm is listed on the Casablanca Stock Exchange and operates 11 facilities. Its four main products are seafood, detergents, beverages, and fruit juice, according to its website.

MARKET WATCH-

#1- Crude prices fell on Wednesday on the back of rising US stockpiles, despite heightened market anxiety over the US-China trade war, Reuters reports. Brent crude futures fell by USD 0.39 to USD 75.81 a barrel, while the US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) also fell by USD 0.26 to USD 72.44 a barrel by 04.27 GMT.

#2- Baltic index inches up: The Baltic Exchange’s dry bulk sea freight index — which tracks rates for the capesize, panamax, and supramax vessel segments — rose 3 points to 738 on Monday. The capesize index fell by 13 points to 861, while the panamax index gained 30 points to 830. The smaller supramax index dipped by 1 point to 602, the lowest since June 2020.

#3- US-China tariff war to shake up LNG global trade: Chinese LNG buyers are likely to reroute their US shipments to other markets — including to Europe — in search for better prices, which “may push prices higher everywhere on the margin… create material market inefficiencies, which will benefit some LNG traders in the regions,” energy analyst at MST Marque Saul Kavonic told Bloomberg.

This is bad news for US exporters who rely on long-term contracts, as Chinese companies will likely not sign any agreements with US projects.

China’s retaliatory salvo: China is set to impose a 15% duty on US coal and LNG and a 10% duty on oil, farm equipment, and some vehicles starting 10 February in response to the US slapping a 10% tariff on Chinese exports. The country is also implementing export controls on rare earth minerals, citing national security concerns. Trump is set to speak with China’s Xi Jinping this week to reach an agreement.

STORAGE + WAREHOUSES

AD Ports to develop 300k ton grain storage facility at Khalifa Port

AD Ports to set up grain plant at Khalifa Port: The UAE’s AD Ports has inked a 50-year land lease agreement with flour producer Al Ain Mills to establish a grain storage and processing facility at Khalifa Port’s South Quay, according to a press release.

The details: The 500k sqm facility — with a storage capacity of 300k metric tons — is slated to launch operations 2.5 years after the firm breaks ground on the project. No investment ticket was disclosed.

Meeting demand: The collaboration will provide Al Ain Mills access to deep water berths and port facilities and is set to expand grain storage and handling capacity to meet the rising demand for grain products in and beyond the Gulf.

Not AD Port’s first grain-focused venture: AD Ports is investing USD 30 mn in the Kazakhstani Kuryk Port’s Sarzha Grain Terminal, in which it will own a 51% stake. The terminal — to be built over two phases — is expected to cost about USD 50 mn and to have over 2 mn tons of annual handling capacity when fully completed.

In context: The new facility is poised to support the UAE’s food security initiatives as the country pushes ahead in multiple food logistics projects. Back in August, the Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority — alongside AD Ports and the Abu Dhabi Projects and Infrastructure Centre — inaugurated a 32.7k sqm veterinary quarantine facility at Khalifa Port. DP World also inked an MoU with the Dubai Municipality back in July to develop the world’s largest logistics hub for foodstuffs, fruit, and vegetable trade.

Meet the millers: Al Ain Mills is a member of Al Hazaa Investment Group, and its Fujairah branch is slated to receive and send grain via Etihad Rail, according to its website.

Purchasing

How non-oil private sectors in UAE + Qatar fared in January

Purchasing manager indices (PMI) tracking non-energy private sectors in the two countries expanded at the start of the year, albeit at a slower pace. The UAE’s reading saw a slight drop, holding well in the growth territory, while Qatar witnessed a considerable slip in its headline PMI, remaining just above the 50.0 mark threshold.

REMEMBER- The all-important 50.0 mark is the threshold separating contraction from growth. Anything above 50 denotes expansion, while anything below indicates contraction.

First up, the UAE: The UAE’s non-oil activity slowed down slightly in January from the nine-month high achieved in December, with the sector continuing to see robust expansions in activity and new business, according to S&P Global UAE PMI (pdf). The headline figure reached 55.0, down from 55.4 in December. This is the first dip in the UAE’s headline figure in three months.

New orders dropped slightly from last month’s nine-month high: The new orders subindex eased slightly to 59.0 in January, down from 59.3 in the previous month, with businesses reporting an uplift in domestic demand, Reuters writes. Meanwhile, growth in new export orders nearly stalled, with businesses reporting that the rise in demand was mainly domestic-driven. Consequently, output rates rose sharply on the back of a strong sales upturn.

Improved sales had little impact on hiring, with companies reporting a negligible increase in new employment. “A persistently low rate of employment growth suggests that firms are lacking the ability to hire in order to tackle backlog issues,” S&P Global senior economist David Owen said.

Cooling inflation caused firms to up input purchases: Input cost inflation fell to a 13-month low in January, which came “despite evidence of higher costs for transport and machinery” as well as a faster rise in salaries. A slowdown in inflation helped businesses boost their purchases of inputs, which firms used to “service existing orders rather than build up warehouses,” with inventories only seeing marginal growth during the month.

Business sentiment was low despite positive results: Firms’ optimism about future activity in the UAE hit its lowest mark in over two years, with just 9% of participants predicting growth over the next year. Many firms cited “robust competition” as one of the key factors holding back optimism in the country. “Strong competition and cash flow concerns arising from heavy backlogs have appeared to sow doubt among firms that they can continue to boost their revenues,” Owen said.

Over in Qatar: Qatar’s non-oil private sector growth slowed for the first time in four months in January, driven by a drop in new orders and overall output, according to Qatar Financial Center PMI (pdf). The nation’s headline figure fell to 50.2, down from 52.9 in December, keeping it just above the 50.0 threshold indicating growth. This is Qatar’s lowest reading since December 2023.

New orders were down in January, while output fell slightly overall last month for only the fourth time since 2H 2020. Meanwhile, purchasing activity slowed with firms optimizing inventories with a reduction in stock levels recorded for the first time in four months.

Employment growth also slowed in January, but jobs over the past five months have increased at a rate faster than in any previous period in survey history. Average wages and salaries also hit a new record during the month, exceeding a peak previously set last September, according to the report.

“The drop in the PMI mainly reflected a decline in new business, only the second of the past two years. But this was heavily driven by the construction sector, with manufacturing and wholesale & retail recording further robust increases in new orders,” S&P Global Market Intelligence’s Economics Director Tyler Balchin said.

It’s not all bad for Qatar: “The one bright spot in Qatar’s case is that the future output component jumped to a four-month high,” Capital Economics said in a note seen by EnterpriseAM.

Qatari firms remain optimistic: Qatar firms were more confident about the 12-month outlook at the start of 2025, with sentiment bouncing back to a four-month high and above the long-run trend, particularly among manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers. Companies also expect market conditions to improve, especially in sectors including tourism, industrial development and real estate.

The airline’s operating revenues also grew 5.3% y-o-y, reaching KWD 208.6 mn (c. 676.15 mn) during the same period, driven mainly by growth in the company’s passengers segment.

It also boasted an improved On-Time Performance (OTP) by 12%.

ICYMI- Jazeera Airways acquired six Airbus A320ceo aircraft it had on lease in December 2024 for KDW 55.7 mn (c. USD 181 mn) and has an order book of 26 new aircraft, with deliveries expected to start mid-2026.

It will also allow for mutual recognition of each country’s maritime certificates issued to captains, officers, and radio operators.

Not their first hurrah: Oman and Cyprus signed an agreement last December to eliminate double taxation and crack down on income tax evasion, Oman News Agency reported in December.

Their trade in numbers: Oman’s exports to Cyprus reached USD 4.53 mn in value in 2023, according to Trading Economics data. Electrical equipment racked up the lion’s share of exports at USD 3.76 mn. Cyprus’ exports to the Sultanate stood at USD 7.73 mn in 2022, according to OEC data. The top exports included packaged meds, accounting for USD 3.97 mn, followed by cheese, sheep and goat meat, and plastic pipes.
