Khalifa Port has achieved significant progress in productivity, rising to fifth place among regional and global ports, which cover the Middle East, Africa, and Europe, reported Al Bayan newspaper, quoting the Journal of Commerce's recent report.
Abu Dhabi Ports Company (ADPC) and Khalifa Port container terminal show a crane productivity that reached 34 gross moves per hour against 25 moves in 2012, registering a 36% increase.
Since September 2014, the number of direct links from Khalifa Port to destination ports across the globe rose to 52 instead of 40. Moreover, the Port succeeded in one year to attract three more key shipping lines, increasing the shipping lines to 20 companies being served in Abu Dhabi.
“We are very proud of what we have accomplished within such a short time frame. This not only confirms our financial investments and hard work but Khalifa Port’s massive potential in terms of productivity and service offerings for the years to come,” said ADPC CEO Capt. Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi.
“Apart from its ultra-modern infrastructure and excellent market access to 4.5 billion people within four time zones, a major advantage of Khalifa Port is its proximity to Kizad. Both, Khalifa Port and Kizad, offer an unprecedented intermodal transportation network, as well as optimum supply chain and logistics efficiencies,” Al Shamisi explained.
“The completion of phase one of the Kizad Logistics Park adds to our success story and marks a further breakthrough in the development of our infrastructures. Khalifa Port and Kizad are cornerstones of the Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030, a vision that not only inspires us in our daily work but represents a clear road map for the future of this beautiful and flourishing country,” Al Shamisi added.
