The 2.5 million TEU milestone was achieved in the first 11 months of 2019, and Abu Dhabi ports announced the result on 24 December. Over the same period the company handled more than 20 million tonnes of general cargo across all its ports, surpassing its 2018 full-year performance of 19.7 million tonnes. Altogether Abu Dhabi Ports (ADP) operates eleven ports and terminals, including cruise facilities.
“These achievements were bolstered largely by the growth in cargo handling performance at both Musaffah Port and Khalifa Port. From January through November, the former reported a 300 percent year-on-year increase, while the latter saw a 25 percent growth year-on-year. Container throughput at Khalifa Port also rose by 63 percent year-on-year during the same period,” ADP stated.
