The Abu Dhabi Ports Company (ADPC) is a master
developer and regulator of ports and industrial zones. Its purpose is to
create a sustainable growth platform that spurs economic expansion and
diversification for Abu Dhabi by developing world-class infrastructure,
real-estate and business services in conjunction with the private sector.
ADPC has been mandated to develop all ports (with the exception of oil & gas
and military ports) and related infrastructure in the emirate of Abu Dhabi.
ADPC will develop and incubate new companies that service and operate in the
ports and zones sector. An example of this is Abu Dhabi Terminals, a Joint
Venture company between ADPC and Mubadala, which is responsible for all port
terminal operations in the Emirate. Another such entity is the industrial
zone operating company which will be responsible for operating and marketing
the heavy industries zone. ADPC aims to create various such entities in
order to serve the needs of its customers. These subsidiaries and alliances
may span the following range of services and operations: zone operators,
port terminal operators, utility operators, real estate developers,
education and training operators, logistics operators, value added service
operators and several others.
ADPC is currently working on the development of the multi-billion dollar
Khalifa Port and Industrial Zone (KPIZ) in Taweelah. KPIZ will be a
multi-purpose facility located in Taweelah and strategically placed between
the thriving cities of Abu Dhabi and Dubai. The project includes the
construction of a world-scale container and industrial port and the
development of over 100 square kilometers of industrial, logistics,
commercial, educational and residential special economic and free zones.
Master plans for KPIZ are in final stages with a target operational date for
the port planned for the end of 2010. The infrastructure supporting the port
as well as the first phase of the industrial zone, including the 1.3 million
tons aluminum smelter, will also be operational by this time.
KPIZ will cater to a number of industries including:
-
Base Metal
-
Heavy Machinery
-
Transport vehicle assembly
-
Chemicals
-
Shipyards
-
Building materials
-
Processed foods and beverages
-
Light manufacturing
-
Information and communication technology
-
Alternative energy
-
Trade and Logistics
KPIZ is ideally suited to become a world-class industrial
and logistics hub. It is strategically located with easy access to two major
ports as well as two major airports. KPIZ will be serviced by the new
Emirates rail line and transversed by state-of-the art roads and highways.
The area will include the large scale development of specialized logistics
and storage warehouses and have access to the most modern broadband ICT
ubiquitous infrastructure.
With a number of major industrial players already committed to establishing
capacity at KPIZ, the Taweelah area is set to become one of the world’s top
industrial and logistics hubs. |
