AD Ports has launched its first custom-bound inland dry port facility <\/strong>between Abu Dhabi and Dubai Al Faya Dry Port<\/strong>, according to a statement<\/a>. The dry port will serve as an inland container depot (ICD) connected to Abu Dhabi\u2019s Khalifa Port and function as a transit terminal for trucks. <\/p>\n

The new facility looks to streamline access and cut costs for cargo handling operations from Khalifa Port <\/strong>to Dubai and the northern Emirates. The first client for the port will be French logistics giant CMA CGM, with other players operating at Khalifa Port, like Switzerland's MSC and China\u2019s Cosco, set to be serviced later as operations scale up. This comes after the recently launched <\/span>container terminal<\/a> <\/span><\/a><\/strong>at Khalifa Port,<\/a> as part of a JV between AD Ports and CMA Terminals, a subsidiary of CMA CGM Group.<\/span><\/p>\n

Details:<\/strong> The truck terminal at the dry port has an initial container capacity of 900 TEUs \u2013 scalable dependent on demand. AD Ports will deploy its Maqta Technologies\u2019 Advanced Trade & Logistics Platform (ATLP) to digitally connect Khalifa Port to the new dry port. <\/p>\n

AD Ports \u2665\ufe0f\u2019s CMA CGM:<\/strong> The pair also recently formed a JV to develop and operate<\/a> the New East Mole multipurpose terminal in Pointe Noire, Congo, for which AD Ports Group secured a 30-year extendable concession for the terminal in June 2023. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
