AD Ports Group recently announced its intention to expand Khalifa Port by including drydock services. With this expansion, Khalifa Port will expand its range of port and marine logistics services from container and cargo handling to vessel repairs and maintenance, to better serve existing clients and attract new ones.
The addition of drydock services will enable Khalifa Port to meet the growing demand for these services from regional and international clients. This announcement came in the wake of the official inauguration by President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan of Khalifa Port’s expansion last December as part of a celebration recognizing the achievements of AD Ports Group on its 10th anniversary and the 50th anniversary of Zayed Port.
As part of the expansion, which included the development of the Port’s South Quay, Khalifa Port Logistics, and Abu Dhabi Terminals at a total investment of AED4 billion, Khalifa Port has grown from 2.43 km2 to 8.63 km2, while its quay wall has been extended from 2.3 to 12.5 kilometres.
