Abu Dhabi Terminals punch through 2m teu at Khalifa

Two years after starting operations, Abu Dhabi Terminals (ADT), which manages and operates Khalifa Port Container Terminal, the first semi-automated advanced container terminal in the Middle East, has celebrated handling 2m teu.

The milestone surpasses the company’s initial target, representing a 20% year-on-year increase in containers handled by ADT, driven by strong increases in both imports and exports, with volume growth alongside continued high demand from local and global customers.

“Passing this latest record demonstrates the position of Khalifa Port Container Terminal due to its diverse and increasing trade base, strategic location and significant hinterland connections,” said ADT’s chief executive officer, Martijn van de Linde.  He added: “We are continuously committed to support the economic growth of the UAE and at the same time provide our customers with fast and efficient services.”
