Operationally, the strong growth was driven by container terminals throughput, both domestically and internationally, the addition of 3.3 km2 of net new industrial land leases in Khalifa Economic Zones – Abu Dhabi (KEZAD).
In 2025, AD Ports Group’s underlying operational performance was strong across the Ports, Economic Cities & Free Zones, and Maritime & Shipping Clusters. The Group simplified and streamlined its corporate structure by transforming its Digital Cluster to a federated model to better support its growth strategy, efficiency and performance, particularly accelerating AI initiatives and deployment of Agentic AI across its core operations. The vertically integrated and synergistic model is now structured around four Clusters – Ports, Economic Cities & Free Zones (EC&FZ), Maritime & Shipping, and Logistics.
In Ports, total container throughput soared 23% Year-on-Year to 7.7 million TEUs for the full year, whilst general cargo volumes increased 7% Year-on-Year to almost 60 million tonnes. CMA Terminals Khalifa Port, which started commercial operations at the beginning of 2025, handled over 1.3 million TEUs during the year, implying an impressive utilisation of 74% in its first year of operations. In Maritime & Shipping, container feeder shipping volumes rose 38% Year-on-Year to 3.35 million TEUs in 2025, driven by increased services and capacity, whilst the bulk, multipurpose, and Ro-Ro shipping vessel fleet reached 60, up from 28 at the end of 2024, mainly on capacity expansion for UGR, which added 11 vessels last year. The marine services vessel fleet expanded as well, to 81 vessels in 2025, up from 66 in 2024.
