Facility will enable supply of feedstock to world-scale Chemicals Zone in addition to storing and loading final products for export.
ADNOC Logistics & Services (ADNOC L&S), and AD Ports Group have signed an agreement to develop a new port and logistics facility at TA’ZIZ, the chemicals production and industrial hub currently under development at Ruwais, United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Under the terms of the agreement, ADNOC L&S and AD Ports Group will develop a liquids terminal and logistics facility to support tenants of the TA’ZIZ Industrial Chemicals Zone.
The facility will be a critical part of the supply chain for feedstocks and will store and load final products for export. The partners will select an international operator to enter into a new joint venture and contribute to the development of the new port.
“The new port will consolidate the UAE’s competitiveness as an international supply chain hub for energy and industry and further positions TA’ZIZ as the preferred partner for investing in the growth of the UAE’s advanced manufacturing base,” noted Captain Abdulkareem Al Masabi, CEO, ADNOC L&S.
Liquid Terminal Facility
“Our collaboration with ADNOC L&S to develop a port and liquid terminal facility to support TA’ZIZ is aligned with our vision of driving the growth of international trade in the Emirate,” observed Captain Mohamed Juma Al Shamsi, Group CEO, AD Ports Group.
Three large-scale berths and associated infrastructure in addition to loading and unloading facilities will make up the foundation of the new port. The two liquid berths measure 640 meters in length with the dry bulk berth measuring 320 meters, which combined equals 10 football pitches.
A tank farm with ten product tanks and one feedstock storage tank will be included, with specialized utilities, control rooms, and product vapor handling systems safeguarding the products in storage.
