emirates7 - AD Ports Group reported a 30% rise in vehicle volumes at Autoterminal Khalifa Port during the first half of 2024, driven by an increase in automotive trade.

He attributed this success to years of investment in advanced infrastructure, which enables the port to respond to market demand in real-time. He emphasized the group's commitment to leveraging this strategic advantage to further drive trade and logistics development in the region.
Xavier Vazquez, CEO of Autoterminal Khalifa Port and Noatum Automotive & Ro-Ro at AD Ports Group, praised the terminal's ability to efficiently handle the volume increase. He highlighted the synergies with Autoterminal Barcelona, which have facilitated smooth business operations and enhanced supply chain efficiency for customers. Vazquez reaffirmed the terminal's commitment to continuously improving operations and setting new industry standards.
