As a strategic gateway to Abu Dhabi, the economic engine of the UAE and one of the fastest-growing economies in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), AD Ports Group operates a growing, international ecosystem of Ports, Economic Cities & Free Zones, Maritime & Shipping, Logistics and Digital services.
Active in more than 50 countries across the Middle East, Northern Africa, the Indian Subcontinent, Central and Southeast Asia, and Europe, the Group is a catalyst for non-oil based economic growth through its industrial development, transport and logistics activities.
