AD Ports Group Khalifa Port Ranking

AD Ports Group has announced that Khalifa Port was ranked as the third most efficient container port globally.

This ranking came from the recently published Container Port Performance Index (CPPI) developed by the World Bank and S&P Global Market Intelligence.

The 2022 ranking as the third most efficient container port in the world is reportedly a result of the continued investment in the port’s infrastructure and focused efforts on enhancing operational efficiency.

This is seemingly a commercial differentiator that has attracted three of the world’s largest container shipping lines as strategic partners.

As a result, it appears to have greatly increased the connectivity and attractiveness of Abu Dhabi and the UAE as a hub for global trade.

Measured over the course of 2022, the ranking is based on the amount of time vessels spend in the port to complete cargo exchange.

This ranking is a good improvement for the Khalifa Port, as it was ranked fifth in the 2021 CPPI report.

Saif Al Mazrouei, Chief Executive Officer of Ports Cluster, AD Ports Group, said: “The further improvement in the CPPI efficiency ranking of Khalifa Port is a direct result of the persistent efforts of our teams involved in the day-to-day operations.”

“Their dedication to operational excellence and safety along with the state-of-the-art infrastructure of Khalifa Port has earned us this increased ranking,” Al Mazrouei added.

Additionally, Al Mazrouei explained how AD Ports Group is committed on delivering the highest standards of service to its partners and customers.

In the latest CPPI report, four of the ten most efficient ports in the world are based in Arab countries, with Port of Salalah in Oman, Hamad Port in Qatar and Port Said in Egypt all joining Khalifa Port at the top. 

In September 2022, AD Ports began its construction of the 1.8 million TEU terminal at Khalifa Port.
