A shipping line and port operator based in China has held a ground breaking ceremony for the new Abu Dhabi Container Terminal at Khalifa Port. The ceremony was presided over by Dr Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, Minister of State and Chairman of Abu Dhabi Ports and Ning Jizhe, Deputy Director of China’s National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC).
A new agreement was also signed during the ceremony for development of what the pair claim will be the largest container freight station in the region.
The new container freight terminal will provide Abu Dhabi trade with a state-of-the-art facility offering bonded LCL/FCL consolidation and de-consolidation services, cross stuffing, cargo weight reduction, short term warehousing for deconsolidated cargo as well as easy connectivity with the container terminals in Khalifa Port.
