Fujairah-ICAD rail service and customs-enabled inland gateway bring \u200eport services closer to customers across Abu Dhabi<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Abu Dhabi, UAE \u2013 20 September 2026<\/strong>: Etihad Rail, the developer and operator of the UAE National \u200eRail Network, and AD Ports Group (ADX: ADPORTS), a global enabler of integrated \u200etrade, industry and logistics solutions, have partnered to launch a direct rail service \u200econnecting Fujairah Terminals with the Industrial City of Abu Dhabi (ICAD).\u200e<\/p>\n<p>The integrated inland logistics rail depot solution, linking one of the UAE\u2019s East Coast \u200emaritime gateways on the Gulf of Oman with the nation\u2019s industrial heartland in the \u200ecapital Abu Dhabi, combines a new dedicated rail freight service, and a customs-enabled \u200einland cargo gateway designed to bring trade closer to customers.\u200e<\/p>\n<p>Developed in partnership with AD Ports Group, Etihad Rail extends the reach of Fujairah \u200eTerminals beyond the port gates by enabling cargo arriving in Fujairah to be transported \u200edirectly by rail approximately 200 km to ICAD, where customers can access customs \u200eclearance, inspection and cargo release services.\u200e<\/p>\n<p>A key milestone underpinning the launch is the designation of ICAD with its own UN \u200eLOCODE \u201cAECAD\u201d, establishing it as a recognised international logistics location within \u200eglobal shipping and trade systems. For the first time, shipping lines, freight forwarders, \u200eand cargo owners can book cargo directly to ICAD as the destination and clearance \u200epoint. Combined with dedicated customs and inspection infrastructure, this enables \u200econtainers arriving at Fujairah Terminals to be transported directly by rail to ICAD for \u200einspection, clearance, and release, simplifying customs processes, reducing handling \u200erequirements, and accelerating the movement of goods across Abu Dhabi.\u200e<\/p>\n<p>The solution is designed to serve importers, exporters, manufacturers, distributors, and \u200elogistics providers operating across Abu Dhabi, allowing them to receive cargo closer to \u200ewarehouses, production facilities, and end markets. The new service\u00a0 offers customers \u200ereliable schedules, reduced road congestion, enhanced scalability for high-volume cargo \u200emovements and lower carbon emissions compared with traditional long-haul trucking. \u200eOperating three times per week, the dedicated Etihad Rail service connects Fujairah \u200eTerminals with ICAD, strengthening multimodal cargo flows across the corridor.\u200e<\/p>\n<p><strong>Omar Alsebeyi, Chief Executive Officer, Etihad Rail Freight,<\/strong> said: \"The launch of our \u200enew Fujairah-ICAD rail service represents another important step in unlocking the full \u200epotential of the UAE National Rail Network for our customers. Through our partnership \u200ewith AD Ports Group, we have created an innovative logistics solution that goes beyond \u200etransportation by bringing key port services closer to where cargo is ultimately needed. \u200eBy combining rail connectivity with customs-enabled inland cargo handling and the ability \u200eto book cargo directly to ICAD, we are helping customers move goods more efficiently, \u200esimplify logistics processes, and reduce the time between vessel arrival and final \u200edelivery.\"\u200e<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saif Al Mazrouei, Chief Executive Officer, Ports Cluster - AD Ports Group<\/strong>, said: \u200e\u200e\u201cStrong trade corridors are built by connecting gateways with the industrial and \u200ecommercial ecosystems they serve. The integrated service brings together Fujairah \u200eTerminals, the UAE National Rail Network and ICAD (AECAD) as part of a more \u200econnected system, extending the reach of our port infrastructure beyond the terminal \u200eand bringing essential services closer to customers. Through our partnership with Etihad \u200eRail, we are enabling\u00a0 seamless, reliable and resilient cargo flows, while providing \u200ebusinesses with greater flexibility in how they access markets and manage their supply \u200echains. This seamless approach strengthens connectivity across the trade ecosystem, \u200esupports long-term growth and reinforces Abu Dhabi\u2019s position as a gateway of choice \u200efor trade and industry.\u201d \u200e<\/p>\n<p>The launch of the service reinforces the shared commitment of Etihad Rail and AD Ports \u200eGroup to strengthening the UAE\u2019s logistics and trade infrastructure through greater \u200econnectivity, innovation, and customer-focused supply chain solutions. By combining the \u200ecapabilities of Fujairah Terminals with the reach of the UAE National Rail Network with an \u200einland gateway offering customs and cargo handling services, the partnership is helping \u200ecreate a more efficient and resilient logistics ecosystem for businesses operating across \u200ethe country.\u200e<\/p>\n<p>As part of the wider AD Ports Group ecosystem, Fujairah Terminals plays a vital role in \u200edelivering integrated, end-to-end supply chain solutions, connecting ports, industrial and \u200efree zones, logistics platforms, and digital services. Through its comprehensive service \u200eoffering and strategic location, Fujairah Terminals supports the UAE's position as a global \u200elogistics and trade hub, strengthening connectivity across the GCC, India, the Red Sea, \u200eand East Africa.\u200e<\/p>\n","intro_iframe_code":"","content_for_read_more":""},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/wpvip.adportsgroup.com\/adportsgroup\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2026\/09\/Etihad-Rail-AD-Ports-Group-Launch-Integrated-Rail-Service-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpvip.adportsgroup.com\/adportsgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6949","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpvip.adportsgroup.com\/adportsgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpvip.adportsgroup.com\/adportsgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpvip.adportsgroup.com\/adportsgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/56"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpvip.adportsgroup.com\/adportsgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6949"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/wpvip.adportsgroup.com\/adportsgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6949\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7047,"href":"https:\/\/wpvip.adportsgroup.com\/adportsgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6949\/revisions\/7047"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpvip.adportsgroup.com\/adportsgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6950"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpvip.adportsgroup.com\/adportsgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6949"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpvip.adportsgroup.com\/adportsgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6949"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpvip.adportsgroup.com\/adportsgroup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6949"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
