AD Ports Group has signed a  50-year land lease agreement with Al Ain Mills, a member of Al Hazaa Investment Group. This strategic partnership will lead to the development of a grain storage and processing facility within Khalifa Port’s South Quay area, further enhancing the port’s capabilities. It is planned that the 50,000 m2 facility will have a storage capacity of around 300,000 tonnes and should be operational within the next three years.

The leased plot will provide Al Ain Mills with direct access to deep water berths and other port facilities. This new development is set to significantly boost the capacity of grain storage and handling within the port.

In another notable recent development AD Ports has signed a contract to manage and operate the Al Madouneh Customs Centre in Amman, Jordan.

AD Ports Group will use its expertise in logistics and trade digitalisation to help improve operational efficiency while running the facility.

The Group’s partnership with Jordan Customs is projected to deliver significant benefits, including a 20% reduction in clearance times, enhanced cargo security, and the development of infrastructure capable of handling around 1000 trucks in the import and transit yard, with plans for future expansion.
