The company is focused on driving greater value and efficiency from its asset portfolio and capitalizing on synergies with its subsidiaries, Navig8 and Zakher Marine International (ZMI).

CEO Captain Abdulkareem Al Masabi highlighted the company’s solid financial performance and continued growth trajectory. He noted that the recent acquisition of an 80% stake in Navig8 and its integration into ADNOC L&S's service offerings has enhanced customer value and expanded the company’s global presence. He added that the company remains committed to executing its growth strategy while adopting advanced technologies and AI to boost operational efficiency.

The Integrated Logistics segment posted revenues of $628 million (AED 2.307 billion), a 23% year-on-year increase, driven by progress on major EPC projects like Al Omairah Island and Hail & Ghasha, as well as improved Jack-Up Barge (JUB) utilization and rates. EBITDA for this segment rose 15% to $182 million (AED 669 million).

The Shipping segment saw the largest growth, with revenue surging 87% to $469 million (AED 1.722 billion), mainly due to the integration of Navig8’s tanker fleet. Shipping EBITDA rose 26% to $143 million (AED 527 million), achieving a solid margin of 31%.

The Services segment also grew, with revenues rising 9% to $84 million (AED 310 million) and EBITDA increasing 52% year-on-year to $18 million (AED 66 million), supported by higher container volumes at the Borouge Terminal and profit contributions from Integr8.
