The expansion of Khalifa Port in the UAE was recently completed, port operator the AD Ports Group said earlier this week.
The inauguration of the port's expansion was held on Tuesday, December 12, with Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, as guest of honour.
As part of the expansion, which includes the development of the port's South Quay, Khalifa Port Logistics, and Abu Dhabi Terminals at a total investment of AED4 billion (US$1 billion), Khalifa Port has grown from 2.43 square kilometres to 8.63 square kilometres, while its quay wall has been significantly extended from 2.3 kilometres to 12.5 kilometres. The upgraded facility now also provides 21 berths and offers a range of bespoke services for key strategic industries.
