It has also signed a concession agreement with Cosco Shipping Ports Limited, to operate the new terminal at Khalifa Port which will increase overall annual capacity to up to six million TEUs once full operations commence in 2020.
With such large-scale developments underway, Abu Dhabi Ports has dedicated 100sqkm. from Khalifa Industrial Zone's (Kizad) total area of 410sqkm to develop Khalifa Port Free Trade Zone, a new project that will serve as a platform for businesses looking to expand in the trade, logistics, and manufacturing sectors in the region.
