AD Ports Group has confirmed that operations across all its clusters are continuing as normal despite ongoing regional developments.
As a precaution, the Group has activated its crisis management and business continuity plans in coordination with relevant UAE authorities to protect its workforce, partners and stakeholders, while maintaining uninterrupted services for customers.
All UAE ports and terminals managed and operated by the Group’s Ports Cluster, along with associated services, remain fully operational.
With vessel traffic through the Strait of Hormuz declining, a corresponding drop in ship calls at Khalifa Port is expected. Nevertheless, operations at Khalifa Port will continue without disruption.
The Group anticipates increased volumes across its diversified global maritime network as trade routes adjust in response to evolving regional developments.
Within the Maritime & Shipping Cluster, most of its 122 vessels — including container, bulk, Ro-Ro and multipurpose ships — are operating outside the Strait of Hormuz. Those currently in the Strait are continuing intra-Gulf services.
Overall, the impact on the Maritime & Shipping Cluster is projected to be limited. Similarly, the Group’s Economic Cities & Free Zones and Logistics Clusters are expected to face minimal disruption.
Captain Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, Managing Director and Group CEO of AD Ports Group, said, “Global trade has historically demonstrated resilience during periods of geopolitical tension. Through disciplined execution, operational excellence and proactive risk management, AD Ports Group remains well positioned to support supply chain stability and uphold its commitments to customers across its global network, in line with vision with our wise leadership.’’
As a diversified global trade facilitator with an integrated international portfolio, AD Ports Group continues to closely monitor geopolitical developments and evaluate any potential impact on maritime routes, supply chains and global trade flows.
