GFS is among the Group\u2019s \u200emost strategically significant assets. Through a sustained period of maritime \u200edisruption, GFS has maintained and expanded trade connectivity where other \u200eoperators withdrew, ensuring the uninterrupted flow of cargo for customers across the \u200eGCC region, whilst serving the Indian Subcontinent, Red Sea, Far East, \u200eMediterranean, and Africa regions \u2014 reinforcing AD Ports Group\u2019s role as a reliable \u200eenabler of trade through volatility. In doing so, it has extended the Group\u2019s geographic \u200ereach, broadened its customer base, and connected its terminals to a wider set of \u200eeconomies, with increased depth across the Red Sea and the Arabian Gulf.\u200e\nThe increase in ownership to 81% reinforces AD Ports Group\u2019s cash flow generation \u200eand provides greater strategic and operational control over this core asset, enabling \u200edeeper integration with the Group\u2019s ports, economic cities and logistics operations. \u200eThis will further strengthen the end-to-end trade and logistics solutions AD Ports \u200eGroup offers to customers worldwide.\u00a0 \u200e\n\u200e \u200e\nCaptain Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, Managing Director &amp; Group CEO of AD \u200ePorts Group, said: \u201cThrough the acquisition of an additional 30% stake in Global \u200eFeeder Shipping, AD Ports Group is reaffirming its commitment to investing in one of \u200ethe most important and high-performing assets within our integrated business \u200eportfolio. GFS has expanded our reach into new markets and brought us closer to our \u200ecustomers, connecting our ports to more economies across the Red Sea and the Gulf \u200eat a time when reliable trade connectivity matters most. Our increased ownership in \u200eGFS allows us to deepen its integration within the Group\u2019s portfolio and enables \u200efurther growth across our shipping business. We will now be in a stronger position to \u200eaccelerate our journey to enable trade for our stakeholders, in line with the vision of \u200eour wise leadership.\u201d\u200e\nAmir Maghami, CEO of Global Feeder Shipping, said: \u201cToday marks an important \u200estep for GFS as we become more closely integrated into AD Ports Group, reinforcing \u200ethe strength of our partnership. While the shipping industry continues to adapt to \u200evolatile market conditions, AD Ports Group\u2019s support has enabled us to steadily \u200eexpand our services and grow our fleet. Staying flexible and keeping customers at the \u200ecentre of what we do has always been our priority, and I am excited to build on this \u200emomentum as we broaden our network and deliver even greater value in the months \u200eand years ahead.\u201d\u200e\nIn 2025, GFS transported 2.8 million TEUs (Twenty-Foot Equivalent Units) and made \u200emore than 700 voyages covering 89 ports in 54 countries. Since the acquisition of its \u200einitial 51% stake in February 2024, GFS generated total cumulative EBITDA of over \u200eAED 1.8 billion (USD 500 million).\u200e\nAlongside SAFEEN Feeders and Transmar, GFS forms the core of the Group\u2019s \u200econtainer feeder shipping business, providing essential services for the movement of \u200egoods in and out of the UAE. In 2025, overall container feeder shipping revenue rose \u200e\u200e17% year-on-year from 2024. The business also expanded the Group\u2019s global \u200efootprint, playing an integral role in its trade ecosystem spanning Ports, Economic \u200eCities &amp; Free Zones, Maritime &amp; Shipping, Logistics, and Digital services business \u200eclusters. \u200e\nIn 2025, the total revenue of the Maritime &amp; Shipping Cluster grew 33% to AED 10.7 \u200ebillion while the Cluster EBITDA rose 25% year-on-year to AED 2.5 billion.
