In order to improve Khalifa Port’s connection and raise the standard of logistical services provided throughout the United Arab Emirates, AD Ports Group today announced the opening of a new custom-bound inland dry port facility.
Ideally situated between Abu Dhabi and Dubai, Al Faya Dry Port will serve as an Inland Container Depot (ICD) connected to Khalifa Port via land. For Dubai and the Northern Emirates, it will provide a truck transit terminal, increasing market speed and enabling more economical freight handling operations.
The December 2024 inauguration of CMA Terminals Khalifa Port to serve end users throughout the United Arab Emirates is enhanced and expanded by the opening of the ICD facility in Al Faya. Through the Advanced Trade & Logistics Platform (ATLP) from Maqta Technologies, Al Faya Dry Port and Khalifa Port are digitally connected.
The new facility allows CMA CGM and other operators at Khalifa Port to generate origin and destination (O&D) revenue by bridging the gap between Khalifa Port and the cargo’s final destination. The dry port truck terminal was designed to be easily extendable based on demand, with an initial container capacity of 900 Twenty-Foot Equivalent Units (TEUs).
