In the first half of 2024, AD Ports Group experienced a remarkable 30% increase in vehicle volumes passing through Auto terminal Khalifa Port, driven by a surge in automotive trade. The port quickly responded to the rise in demand by expanding its yard storage capacity, adding 90,000 square meters of space in record time to ensure seamless business operations.

This flexibility has been key to maintaining business continuity for its customers while managing the increased trade flow. As a hub for three of the world’s top five container shipping lines—MSC, COSCO, and CMA CGM—the port plays a crucial role in the overall success of AD Ports Group.
Strategic Growth and Operational Excellence
Since 2021, AD Ports Group has tripled its revenue through strategic acquisitions and organic growth, supported by Auto terminal Khalifa Port’s infrastructure investments. Saif Al Mazrouei, CEO of Ports Cluster, highlighted that the rise in Ro-Ro volumes demonstrates Khalifa Port’s scalable infrastructure, which positions it as a regional trade and logistics development leader.

This has enabled the terminal to efficiently manage business flow, minimizing delays and maximizing customer supply chain throughput.
