RAKEZ to link rail, ports for improved logistics

RAKEZ is set to strengthen logistics connectivity in Ras Al Khaimah by linking rail, ports, transport networks and industrial facilities. The focus is on improving cargo movement and market access for companies operating across logistics, manufacturing, engineering and related sectors.

The connected infrastructure can give businesses more options to move goods between warehouses, production sites, ports and regional markets. It can also support companies setting up distribution and manufacturing operations in the UAE.

For logistics operators, access to industrial facilities and transport links can help simplify cargo movement and support regional distribution. Stronger connections between different parts of the supply chain can also improve the movement of goods between the UAE and international markets.

RAKEZ currently supports more than 50,000 companies across over 50 sectors, including more than 3,700 UK-linked businesses. Its facilities include industrial land, warehouses, offices and customisable units.

Ramy Jallad, Group CEO of RAKEZ, said: “Connectivity delivers its greatest value when it translates into commercial opportunity. When transport infrastructure, industrial zones, ports, logistics networks and business ecosystems work together, companies gain greater flexibility in how they source, produce and reach their markets.”
