AD Ports teams up with China Harbour Engineering for CMA Terminals Khalifa Port project – The National

AD Ports Group, the operator of industrial cities and free zones in Abu Dhabi, has gone into partnership with China Harbour Engineering Company for the development of buildings and topside infrastructure for the upcoming CMA Terminals Khalifa Port.

Announced in September 2021, the new terminal is expected to be operational in the first half of 2025. It will be managed by a joint venture, owned 70 per cent by CMA Terminals, a subsidiary of CMA CGM — a global player in sea, land, air and logistics solutions, and 30 per cent by AD Ports Group.

The agreement with CHEC includes the development of the first net-zero carbon administration building to be constructed for the joint venture. It will also see the development of 28 office and utilities across the terminal, more than one million square metres of yard paving, reefer stacks, STS cranes and access roads.
