ADNOC Logistics & Services (ADNOC L&S) and AD Ports Group have signed an agreement to develop a new port and logistics facility at TA’ZIZ, the chemicals production and industrial hub currently under development at Ruwais.
Under the agreement, ADNOC L&S and AD Ports Group will develop a liquids terminal and logistics facility to support tenants of the TA’ZIZ Industrial Chemicals Zone.
The companies said the facility will be a critical part of the supply chain for feedstocks and will store and load final products for export. The partners will select an international operator to enter into a new joint venture and contribute to the development of the new port.
Three large-scale berths and associated infrastructure in addition to loading and unloading facilities will make up the foundation of the new port.
The two liquid berths measure 640 meters in length with the dry bulk berth measuring 320 meters, which combined equals 10 football pitches.
ADNOC L&S is the largest integrated shipping and maritime logistics company in the Middle East, with a fleet of over 240 owned and chartered vessels and integrated solutions models covering the entire oil and gas supply in the UAE.
The company operates the largest and only purpose-built oil and gas logistics base in the UAE, providing a wide range of diversified services to the offshore industry.
