Certification Issued Under the Provisions Stated in the International Code for the Security of Ships and Port Facilities<\/p>\n<p>AD Ports Group today announced that Mugharraq Port, a strategic port located in the Al Dhafra Region, has been recognised as an international port facility.<\/p>\n<p>Issued under the provisions of the International Code for the Security of Ships and of Port Facilities (ISPS Code) by the UAE\u2019s Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure, the port has long served as a leading maritime facility that provides a host of offshore, project\/oil and gas, general cargo, logistics support, bulk and break-bulk handling services.<\/p>\n<p>With the new certification, Mugharraq Port can now receive international and local vessels including container feeders, bulk and break-bulk carriers, mobile offshore drilling units, tugboats, chemical tankers, offshore support vessels, passenger ships and high-speed cargo crafts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saif Al Mazrouei, Head of Ports Cluster, AD Ports Group,<\/strong>\u00a0said: \u201cIt is our great pleasure to announce that Mugharraq Port, one of the high-performing ports located within the Al Dhafra Region, has been officially recognised as an international port facility.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis achievement will greatly accelerate the port\u2019s potential in securing interest from the world leaders of industry, particularly those involved in the global energy market, while simultaneously opening up new opportunities in other industries and segments for us to target.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe look forward to reinforcing Mugharraq Port\u2019s logistical capabilities even further, as well as cultivating the port\u2019s reputation not only as a vital maritime facility in the Middle East but also its footprint within global trade.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mubarak Al Mazrouei, Port Director, Al Dhafra Region,\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cBy receiving the distinction of an international port facility under the provisions of the ISPS Code, Mugharraq Port has further cemented its position as a strategic commercial port.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis accomplishment is a reflection of AD Ports Group\u2019s efforts in recent years to devise and advance a master plan for the modernisation of Al Dhafra region\u2019s ports, which has witnessed several infrastructure enhancements catering to both commercial and recreational maritime activities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe would also like to share our appreciation for the leadership\u2019s support in driving the development of industry-leading infrastructure in Al Dhafra, as well as their efforts aiming to diversify the UAE\u2019s economy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>AD Ports Group is close to completing an extensive expansion project aimed at enhancing Mugharraq Port\u2019s infrastructure and service capabilities to ensure it is better positioned to support offshore and mega projects related to the oil and gas field.<\/p>\n<p>The infrastructure improvements introduced include the extension of the quay wall up to 480 metres with additional berths, deepening of the facility\u2019s depth to 8 metres, as well as the development of additional Ro-Ro ramps to a total of six and extra berths designed to support heavy lift operations.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the port\u2019s load-bearing factor capability has also been increased up to 15 tonnes per square metre, which in addition to supporting heavy lift activities also accelerates the movement of cargo bound for oil and gas facilities.
