AD Ports Group has announced that Al Faya Dry Port has been assigned the UN/LOCODE AEALF by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE).
The United Nations Code for Trade and Transport Locations is used across shipping, logistics and trade to standardise location identification, support customs processes and improve the efficiency of international supply chains.
According to AD Ports Group, the designation establishes Al Faya Dry Port as an internationally recognised inland logistics hub and strengthens its integration into the global multimodal trade and logistics network.
The company said the code will support bonded cargo movement between ports, terminals and inland logistics facilities across the UAE. It will also allow customs declarations to be processed by Abu Dhabi Customs at a single approved facility.
AD Ports Group said this will accelerate cargo movement between connected logistics hubs under the same customs framework, without requiring additional customs documentation between ports in Abu Dhabi.
The designation also supports the issuance of Through Bills of Lading, enabling Al Faya Dry Port to serve as both an export origination point and a final destination point for imports.

Saif Al Mazrouei, Chief Executive Officer, Ports Cluster, AD Ports Group, said: “This designation strengthens connectivity between our ports, inland logistics hubs, and multimodal trade corridors.”
Located between Abu Dhabi and Dubai, Al Faya Dry Port is digitally integrated with Khalifa Port. The facility provides handling services for customs-controlled goods under Abu Dhabi Customs, container handling capabilities and integrated logistics services.
AD Ports Group said the move forms part of wider efforts to integrate ports, inland logistics facilities and digital trade systems.
