ADPORTS

Established in 2006, AD Ports Group is an integrated trade, transport, logistics and industrial development group based in Abu Dhabi with international operations, under a charter approved by the Abu Dhabi Executive Council. The Company is active in more than 50 countries on five continents and is organized into five main business clusters: Ports, Maritime & Shipping, Noatum Logistics, Economic Cities & Free Zones, and Digital. In 2024, the Group had a fleet of more than 250 vessels and 33 terminals in eight countries, including 7 terminals in the UAE. In Abu Dhabi, AD Ports Group is the exclusive owner, operator and developer of all non-oil and defense-related coastal infrastructure, including ports, docks, harbors, wharves, waterways, bridges, water barriers and related infrastructure. With the acquisition of GFS the Group operates the world’s third-largest independent feeder shipping service by capacity while it oversees more than 550 square kilometers of economic and free zones within KEZAD Group in Abu Dhabi, the largest integrated trade, logistics, and industrial business grouping of its kind in the Middle East. The Group has also become a significant provider of logistics services to the global auto industry following the acquisition of Noatum in June 2023. As the infrastructure gateway to Abu Dhabi and the UAE, AD Ports Group’s vertically integrated business model creates value-enhancing synergies that contribute significantly to the Emirate’s economic development, while also catalyzing and driving broader non-oil-based GDP growth. The Group is 75% owned by Abu Dhabi investment and holding company ADQ.
