AD Ports Group is committed to building elite trade and logistics propositions through the synergies harnessed across five Clusters – Digital, Economic Cities & Free Zones, Logistics, Maritime, and Ports connecting global maritime routes and international trading partners.

AD Ports Group’s Digital Cluster specialises in delivering advanced, smart, and innovative digital solutions that cater to trade and logistics stakeholders. The Cluster’s solutions have substantially improved the efficiency and productivity of maritime business interactions, fostering transparency and access to real-time information.

KEZAD Group’s vital infrastructure and services span 12 economic zones (located in Abu Dhabi City, Al Ain City and Al Dhafra Region) covering a total area of 550km2 and including more than 40 staff accommodation complexes under its subsidiary KEZAD Communities.

The Logistics Cluster, operated by Noatum, provides supply chain and freight solutions to both local and international customers, unlocking unprecedented value for the Group’s customers, partners and stakeholders. Through the acquisition of Noatum, AD Ports Group’s geographic reach now spans across 40 countries, 30 terminals, 200+ international offices, and 70+ trade connections – thereby raising Abu Dhabi’s and the UAE’s growing role and reputation as an enabler of trade and logistics across all major global markets. The Cluster is supported by multi-temperature storage space and an advanced transportation fleet, moving millions of tonnes of goods each year, enhancing its global footprint, covering all major international markets, and delivering on its mission to become a world-class logistics player.

AD Ports Group’s Maritime Cluster is a fully integrated facilitator of global trade with a synergistic portfolio of maritime assets, incorporating SAFEEN Group and Abu Dhabi Maritime. SAFEEN Group now offers a broad portfolio of services across three key areas – Marine Services, Shipping & Transshipment, Offshore & Subsea, – combining long-standing expertise with the integrated capabilities offered by the Group. Abu Dhabi Maritime, the custodian of Abu Dhabi’s waterways, was established to manage the growth and development of the Emirate’s maritime domain aligning with the Government’s vision of positioning the city as a leading global maritime capital.

The Ports Cluster, part of AD Ports Group, owns and operates ten ports and terminals facilitating trade and building capacity whilst connecting Abu Dhabi globally. The Cluster is focused on achieving sustainable growth, forging partnerships with local and global market leaders, including, but not limited to, ADNOC, COSCO SHIPPING Ports, CMA CGM Group, MSC Shipping, and Autoterminal Barcelona.
