Abu Dhabi Ports Group released its annual report for 2025, highlighting an exceptional year in which it achieved record revenues and profits. This success coincided with a strengthened presence in major trade corridors, the expansion of its global operations, the development of its asset portfolio, and improvements to its financial structure. The group also continued to invest in port infrastructure, logistical capacities, and maritime connectivity services, supporting its global expansion strategy and enhancing profitability.

The report highlighted the group’s success in leveraging its growing presence across vital trade corridors and key regions, including the UAE, Europe, Egypt, Pakistan, and Africa. This has helped enhance the efficiency of its integrated trade ecosystem and expand its global connectivity network, despite challenges such as regional tensions, tariffs, a global economic slowdown, and ongoing supply chain disruptions.

Since 2020, the group’s revenues and profits have grown more than fivefold, reflecting a smart expansion strategy focused on intensive investments within the UAE and helping to establish Abu Dhabi as a leading global hub for trade and industry.

In 2025, the group announced plans to strengthen its partnership with CMA CGM Group to expand CMA Terminals Khalifa Port in Abu Dhabi, less than a year after its opening, in response to growing demand.

His Excellency Mohamed Hassan Al Suwaidi, Minister of Investment and Chairman of the Board of Abu Dhabi Ports Group, stated that the record results reflect the strength and resilience of the group’s business model and the integration of its sectors, as well as growing confidence from clients, partners, and investors. He noted that the group’s operational flexibility allows it to adapt to fluctuations in global trade while maintaining stable profitability.

Captain Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, Managing Director and Group CEO, explained that the outstanding performance in 2025 resulted from disciplined execution, the maturation of the asset base, and the growing significance of the trade corridors strategy. He emphasized the ongoing efforts to enhance integration between ports, maritime services, and logistics platforms, along with economic zones, within an interconnected system that improves the efficiency of goods and capital movement.

In a milestone reflecting its growing global presence, Khalifa Port rose to 39th place on Lloyd’s list of the top 100 ports, after first entering the ranking in 2019 at 95th position.

The group also reached a new milestone by entering the Guinness Book of Records for deploying 205 AI agents in a single logistics facility. Additionally, it successfully reduced carbon intensity per revenue unit by 18% compared to 2024, as part of its efforts to improve energy efficiency and transition toward low-emission operations.

During the year, it focused on strengthening its balance sheet by leveraging strong performance and launched an asset monetization program expected to generate approximately AED 4.6 billion in returns through land and warehouse sales, along with a partial divestment from NMDC, subject to market conditions and regulatory approvals.

In 2025, the group achieved several milestones in enhancing its trade corridors, including launching regional container shipping services in West and East Africa, operating multipurpose terminals and logistics services in Angola, and expanding in Pakistan through dredging operations and a partnership with Louis Dreyfus to develop a bulk goods handling and storage facility at Karachi Port.
