Ports Group supports UAE economic diversification with the development of infrastructure for Tyre Hub in Abu Dhabi<\/p>\n<p>Agreement signed with Shandong Port Group to strengthen trade and shipping links<\/p>\n<p><strong>Abu Dhabi, UAE \u2013\u00a0<\/strong><strong>30<\/strong><strong>\u00a0December 2021<\/strong>: AD Ports Group, the region\u2019s premier facilitator of logistics, industry, and trade, has signed an agreement with China-based Shandong Port Group, to establish a Tyre Hub at KIZAD for the storage and distribution of tyres.<\/p>\n<p>The agreement between AD Ports Group and Shandong Port Group (SPG) comes as UAE\u2019s efforts gain momentum on the country\u2019s 50<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary to drive economic diversification, attracts foreign direct investment, and consolidate Abu Dhabi\u2019s position as a leading trade, logistics, and manufacturing base, in line with the nation\u2019s industrialisation strategy.<\/p>\n<p>The Tyre Hub leverages the strength of AD Ports Group as a key enabler of trade and logistics by offering Shandong Port Group integrated services from its clusters. AD Ports Group will provide space for an upcoming 150,000 sqm facility in KIZAD under its Industrial Cities &amp; Free Zone Cluster. This will include warehouse management, logistics, distribution, and re-export services offered by MICCO under the AD Ports Group\u2019s Logistics Cluster, and SAFEEN Feeders, under the Maritime Cluster.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Captain Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi,\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Managing Director and\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Group CEO, AD Ports Group<\/strong>, said: \u201cThe agreement with Shandong Port Group is a momentous step that highlights the unique logistics offering of Abu Dhabi and the significance of the synergies created by the AD Ports Group for its various clusters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnder the vision of the leadership, the UAE is emerging as a principal facilitator of global trade and a fast-developing industrial destination that complements China\u2019s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). We are pleased to see greater level of Chinese industrial interest and investment in Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIntensifying economic partnership through ports and economic free zones is a strategic imperative in our nation\u2019s efforts towards economic diversification. We welcome the cooperation with SPG as it reinforces the UAE\u2019s crucial role as a key partner in China\u2019s BRI and our long-standing commitment to creating opportunities for businesses to prosper.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Li Fengli<\/strong><strong>,\u00a0<\/strong><strong>General Manager of Shandong Port Group<\/strong>, said: \u201cWe are delighted with the agreement, and we are confident that our synergy with the AD Ports Group will yield opportunities for the port and logistics industry. The outlook remains positive as consumer demand triggers major transformations across the global supply chain.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe establishment of SPG in August 2019 ushered in a new era in the reform and development of Shandong province's coastal port integration. Since its inception, we have focused on accelerating the construction of a world-class ports economy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSPG actively implements the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and promotes trade cooperation to boost economic growth. We look forward to working together with AD Ports Group, utilising Shandong Port\u2019s comprehensive logistics advantages and KIZAD\u2019s advanced infrastructure, industry-leading service capabilities and unparalleled experience to promote the trade and shipping links\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>AD Ports Group and SPG signed two agreements in the presence of Captain Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, Managing Director and Group CEO, AD Ports Group and Li Fengli, GM of Shandong Port Group.<\/p>\n<p>The agreement for the establishment of the tyre storage and distribution hub was signed by Abdullah Al Hameli, Head of Industrial Cities &amp; Free Zone Cluster, and Zhang Quancheng\uff0cChairman of Shandong Port Overseas Development Group.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the agreement,<strong>\u00a0Abdullah al Hameli, Head of Industrial Cities &amp; Free Zone cluster,\u00a0<\/strong><strong>AD Ports Group,<\/strong>\u00a0said: \u201cKIZAD serves as a catalyst for businesses and aims to increase the competitiveness of Abu Dhabi\u2019s economic zones across the region. We are keen to continue playing a meaningful role in adding to Abu Dhabi\u2019s economic diversification by attracting global concepts such as the region\u2019s first Tyre Hub to Abu Dhabi.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Capt. Ammar Al Shaiba, CEO of the Ports Operating Company &amp; Managing Director of Zayed Port and Jia Funing, Deputy General Manager of Shandong Port Group also signed a \u2018Sister Ports\u2019 agreement to forge a friendship ports partnership and strengthen business cooperation. The signing coincided with the acquisition and arrival of the first vessel procured as part of the agreement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saif Al Mazrouei, Head of Ports Cluster, AD Ports Group,<\/strong>\u00a0said: \u201cAs the premier industrial and economic zones operator in the region, AD Ports Group provides a host of strategic opportunities for leading Chinese businesses seeking to expand their footprint in the Middle East.
