The investment will go in part towards the construction of a new container freight and inland container depot on 1.4 million square foot plot of land, the construction of which will begin in January 2019.
The KIZAD is Abu Dhabi’s first integrated trade, logistics, industrial and free zone which is designed to turn Abu Dhabi into a global trading hub.
