Abu Dhabi-listed National Marine Dredging Company (NMDC) has won an AED 1.3 billion ($354 million) contract with AD Ports Group for the engineering and construction of Shamal Development marine works at Khalifa Port.

Eng. Yasser Zaghloul, Group CEO, NMDC, said: “We have strategic expansion plans for 2022 and the following years, and as a group, we will be entering new markets and enhancing our presence in existing ones undertaking complex projects and sharing our expertise.

Captain Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, Managing Director and Group CEO, AD Ports Group, said: “Khalifa Port, our flagship deepwater port, provides vital infrastructure for the global maritime industry.

“This new development will help us further augment our infrastructure, operational and cargo handling capabilities, supporting our growth and accelerating trade flows in the region. In turn, the expansion cements Khalifa Port’s position as a major global trade and logistics hub.”
