Abu Dhabi Ports (Arabic: موانئ أبوظبي ) (formally Abu Dhabi Ports Company ADPC) was established in March, 2006 by Emiri Decree No. (6), as a master developer of ports and industrial zones in Abu Dhabi. Abu Dhabi Ports was formed as part of the restructuring of the commercial ports sector in the emirate, and was given control and regulatory enforcement power over all commercial ports assets previously owned by the Abu Dhabi Seaports Authority (ADSA). Khalifa Port, which was opened in September 2012, together with the development of Kizad (Khalifa Industrial Zone Abu Dhabi) are the major achievements of Abu Dhabi Ports to date. Through the planning and development of ports and industrial zones, the company continues to play a vital role in propelling economic growth in the emirate of Abu Dhabi.
Abu Dhabi Ports is a master developer and manager of ports and industrial zones in Abu Dhabi. It manages eleven commercial, logistics, community and leisure ports, including its flagship state-of-the-art, deep-water Khalifa Port. It is also developing Kizad (Khalifa Industrial Zone Abu Dhabi). Located adjacent to Khalifa Port, Kizad serves a range of logistics and manufacturing investors and is destined to grow into one of the world’s largest industrial zones. By 2030, Khalifa Port and Kizad are expected to contribute up to 15% of the emirate’s non-oil GDP. The first-phase development of this megaproject reflects an investment of AED 26.5 billion (USD 7.2 billion) and has been described as the “single most important project in Abu Dhabi’s economy”.
