Abu Dhabi, UAE – 29 June 2026: AD Ports Group (ADX: ADPORTS), a leading global ‎enabler of integrated trade, industry and logistics solutions, and Emirates Global ‎Aluminium (EGA), the largest premium aluminium producer in the world, have signed an ‎agreement to enhance EGA’s dedicated berth at Khalifa Port.‎
As part of their longstanding strategic partnership, AD Ports Group and EGA will jointly ‎invest AED 84 million in a multi-phase berth enhancement programme to upgrade EGA’s ‎dedicated port infrastructure and accommodate Newcastlemax dry bulk vessels, which ‎can transport 15–20% more cargo than the Capesize vessels currently calling at ‎EGA’s berth. The enhancements will further improve berth productivity, operational ‎efficiency, and overall cargo-handling performance.‎
Upon completion of the planned works by August 2028, the upgraded berth is expected ‎to support the handling of approximately 8 million tonnes of bulk cargo annually. The ‎project will also enhance operational flexibility by enabling the installation of additional ‎unloader facilities. ‎ (....)
