Abu Dhabi Ports participates at 4th Global Trade Development Week

Commenting on the occasion, Captain Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, CEO of Abu Dhabi Ports, said: “The UAE is an ideal hub for sharing global trade insights, given its strategic location as well as ongoing efforts made by the country to facilitate foreign direct investment and contribute to a prosperous global economy. Our participation at GTDW showcases the importance of digitalization to the efficiency of trade and represents a key stimulator to the UAE’s economy and its contribution to the global economy. The UAE has adopted a policy of economic diversification away from the oil sector, with the commercial sector being at the heart of its 2030 economic diversification strategy. As a company, we have dedicated our capabilities and expertise to strengthen the commercial sector in the emirate and the UAE as a whole. Our recent concession agreement with the Port of Fujairah to establish “Fujairah Terminals”, enhancing the existing infra and super structure in addition to managing all Container, General Cargo, RoRo and Cruise Ships in the Port, and our signing with COSCO Shipping to establish a joint venture company in 2016 to operate an additional container terminal at Khalifa Port, reflects our commitment to contributing to the positioning of the UAE as a major commercial destination regionally and globally. “
