UAE to strengthen its position as a top global energy destination

AD Ports Group Signs Landmark Agreements with Nimex Terminals to Establish LNG and LPG Terminal Hubs at Khalifa Port in a AED 30 Billion Deal

- 

In a major step toward strengthening the United Arab Emirates' position as a global energy hub, AD Ports Group, a leading enabler of global trade, logistics, and industry, and Nimex Terminals, have signed two long-term agreements that will position Khalifa Port into a leading trading hub for low-carbon energy and petrochemical logistics.

The agreements include the development of the UAE's first private-sector Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) terminal hubs, that can accommodate large, long-haul gas carriers.

Together, these two facilities will expand Khalifa Port's capabilities to meet the evolving demand of international energy trade, while supporting the UAE's Net Zero 2050 strategy.

The deal, based on the projected 50-year multiple revenue streams from the two terminal hubs, is valued at over Dhs30 billion (over $8 billion).

The agreements will provide Khalifa Port, ranked 39th in the prestigious Lloyd's List Top 100 Ports for 2025, with the infrastructure required to fuel vessels with lower impact emission LNG and LPG, two of the fastest-growing alternative fuels in the global maritime industry.
