AD Ports Group reports record results in 2025 Annual Report
AD Ports Group’s recently published 2025 Annual Report, Curating Connectivity, charts a year of record revenues and profits for the company. It highlights the Group’s success in growing its presence within key international trade corridors and geographies, including the UAE, Europe, Egypt, Pakistan and Africa, despite a challenging year marked by regional conflicts, tariffs, a weakening global macroeconomic environment, and continued supply chain disruptions.
The Group’s Ports, Economic Cities & Free Zones, and Maritime & Shipping Clusters were the key drivers behind the record Group revenue of AED 20.77 billion, and record total net profit of AED 2.07 billion, which were up 20% and 16% respectively compared with 2024.
During 2025, the Group announced plans with global shipping line partner CMA CGM Group to expand their joint CMA Terminals Khalifa Port container facility in Abu Dhabi, less than a year after it opened to meet high levels of demand. Internationally, the Group purchased equity stakes in leading container terminal operators in Egypt and Syria, and announced plans with Egyptian partners to develop the 20 km2 KEZAD East Port Said Industrial and Logistics Zone at the Mediterranean mouth of the Suez Canal.
In other highlights the Group’s customer base expanded by almost 20%, and spending by its top 10 customers increased by approximately 40%; Khalifa Port was designated 39th in the Lloyd’s List Top 100 Ports ranking of the world’s largest container ports; the Group received a Guinness World Record for deploying the most agentic AI agents, 205, across a global logistics company; and the Group lowered the carbon intensity of its global operations, per unit of revenue, by 18% compared to 2024.
The company has also over the past year been actively diversifying the geographic scale of its operations. The start of container feeder shipping services in West and East Africa, the commencement of multipurpose port terminal operations and an inland logistics business in Angola, and the ongoing expansion of the Group’s port operations in Pakistan, where it initiated dredging work and partnered with Louis Dreyfus Company (LDC) to develop and operate a clean bulk handling and storage facility for agricultural goods at Karachi Port, are just three examples of Group strategy in this regard.
In 2026, AD Ports Group says it will focus on developing, upgrading and starting commercial operations of port terminals not only in the UAE, but also in Safaga, Egypt; Karachi, Pakistan; and Latakia, Syria, thereby continuing the momentum of its geographic diversification strategy.
