AD Ports Group Establishes Consolidated Multimodal Inland Logistics Network to Strengthen UAE Industrial Supply Chains

Abu Dhabi, UAE – 22 May 2026: AD Ports Group (ADX: ADPORTS), a leading global enabler of trade, logistics and industry, announced the establishment of a consolidated, multimodal inland logistics network of rail-linked dry ports and cargo depots, including KEZAD Group’s Industry City of Abu Dhabi (ICAD). This network will position Khalifa Port and Fujairah Terminals as dual gateways for the UAE industry, while strengthening the movement of industrial cargo across the UAE and the wider region.

In support of this effort, the Group signed Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with four leading UAE manufacturers, Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA), EMSTEEL Group, Al Ghurair Iron & Steel, and Tenaris, positioning them as anchor industrial cargo clients of AD Ports Group’s rail-linked inland logistics network.

The network aims to facilitate the efficient movement of industrial inputs, finished goods and strategic cargo across the UAE. It will connect Khalifa Port and Fujairah Terminals to rail-linked inland dry ports, ICAD, and cargo depots across the UAE, creating a more integrated logistics backbone that supports seamless flows between production sites, inland markets and regional trade corridors.

Designed to enhance supply chain performance, the network will enable more reliable inbound flows of industrial feedstock and raw materials to UAE manufacturers, whilst offering greater flexibility for outbound distribution of finished and semi-finished goods, through multiple inland and gateway options, strengthening corridor resilience, reducing reliance on single gateways, and improving access to the UAE and regional markets. 

Captain Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, Managing Director and Group CEO of AD Ports Group, said: “Through establishing a consolidated, multimodal inland logistics network, anchored by the UAE’s leading industrial champions, we aim to further strengthen the UAE’s industrial logistics backbone. This network will connect Khalifa Port and Fujairah Terminals to a rail-linked network of inland dry ports and cargo depots, enhancing commercial use of the UAE’s national rail infrastructure. It will also provide improved access to industrial inputs, greater export flexibility, and long-term competitiveness for national supply chains, in line with the vision of our wise leadership.”

By strengthening inland cargo connectivity between ports, industrial zones and end markets, the consolidated network will support the UAE’s industrial growth agenda, improving trade corridor optionality for strategic cargo across the UAE and the wider region. Its benefits will extend to manufacturers and industries across KEZAD and other UAE industrial sectors, enabling more efficient access to raw materials and streamlined export of finished goods through Khalifa Port and Fujairah Terminals as key gateways.

Al Barari luxury villa leased for record AED14 million over two years

fäm Properties deal sets new benchmark in one of Dubai’s most exclusive communities

Dubai, UAE, May 22: A luxury villa in Al Barari has been leased for a record AED 14 million over two years, marking the highest rental transaction ever recorded in one of Dubai’s most exclusive residential communities.

The landmark deal was secured by fäm Properties for a 14,500 sq ft five-bedroom residence within The Collection at Al Barari. Originally purchased for AED 54 million, the villa is generating a yearly rental yield of 12.8%.

At AED 7 million annually, the agreement surpasses the previous Al Barari rental record of AED 4.8 million per year by 46%, as confirmed by DXBinteract data.

“This transaction reflects the continued depth of demand within Dubai’s ultra-prime segment, particularly for highly curated, lifestyle-driven residences where quality and exclusivity outweigh conventional market parameters,” said Firas Al Msaddi, CEO of fäm Properties.

“It underlines the strength and resilience of the market, and Dubai’s position as one of the world’s leading destinations for wealthy individuals who want this to be their home.”

The villa sits on a 16,000 sq ft plot and features a design centred on privacy, wellness and resort-style living. It includes open-plan formal and informal living areas, a private study with direct lift access, a landscaped garden with pond feature, a fully equipped gym overlooking the pool, and a dedicated wellness pavilion.

The tenant, a Brazilian ultra-high-net-worth individual, was seeking a highly specific lifestyle environment. The deal was brought together by Ana Carolina Oliveira, a Brazilian-born fäm Properties property advisor with nearly a decade of experience in Dubai real estate.

Her long-standing relationships within this segment, combined with cultural familiarity and market access, played a central role in identifying and securing the property.

At the time of search, available rental inventory in Al Barari, including properties above AED 3 million annually, did not meet the tenant’s requirements in terms of architecture, privacy and wellness-led design.

This resulted in a shift away from conventional rental listings towards trophy villas originally positioned for sale in the AED 100 million range, where the required specification was more readily available.

Over a two-month period, off-market discussions were conducted with multiple owners to explore long-term leasing structures for homes not originally intended for rental use.

Management Comment

Commenting on the Company’s Q4 & FY26 results, Mr. Tarak Patel, Managing Director, said,

“The company delivered steady performance this year, achieving 10% revenue growth and 11% EBITDA growth despite a challenging global environment marked by geopolitical uncertainty, macroeconomic headwinds, and subdued demand in our international business, particularly in European. India continues to stand out, with 12% revenue growth, 22% EBITDA growth, and a 40% increase in profit after tax. In Europe, we have implemented decisive cost measures, including the closure of our UK facility and right-sizing operations in Germany, France, and Switzerland. We also commenced operations in our new Poland manufacturing facility, which will serve as a low-cost production hub for the region and enhance our long-term competitiveness. In Q4, strong operational execution was offset by margin pressure resulting from geopolitical tensions in West Asia and broader macroeconomic uncertainty”

He further added, “Order intake during the year improved by 20%, driven by non-traditional markets such as Defence, Oil & Gas and Nuclear, which further reinforces our diversification strategy.  Opening backlog stands at ₹ 2,194 crores a 34% increase over previous year giving us strong revenue visibility for the coming year. However, global economic conditions and geopolitical risks continue to create a challenging environment.

As part of our ongoing global transformation, we have appointed Mr. Gregory Gelhaus as Group CEO and Mr. Ankit Nayyar as Deputy CFO. These appointments will accelerate the execution of our strategic vision and will be instrumental in shaping the organization’s next phase of growth”.
