AD Ports Group annual report recaps a year of record revenue and profit
(Posted on 01/04/26)
Abu Dhabi based AD Ports Group, a leading global enabler of trade, industry and logistics solutions, has published its 2025 Annual Report, which chronicled a year of record revenue and profits, as the Group strengthened its key trade corridors and geographies of operations, optimised its asset portfolio and balance sheet, and invested in key port infrastructure, logistics capabilities, and maritime connectivity to power its profit-enhancing international expansion.
The report ‘’Curating Connectivity” highlights the Group’s successful efforts at leveraging its growing presence along key international trade corridors and geographies of focus, such as in the UAE, Europe, Egypt, Pakistan, and Africa, to prime its integrated trade platforms for stronger performance and boost global connectivity, despite a challenging year marked by regional conflicts, tariffs, 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 to the record Group Revenue of AED 20.77 billion, and record Total Net Profit of AED 2.07 billion, up 20% and 16%, respectively, from 2024.
Revenue and Profits have risen more than five-fold since 2020, amid the Group’s “intelligent internationalisation’’ expansion strategy, underpinned by significant investments at home to strengthen Abu Dhabi’s position as an international trade and industrial hub.
H.E. Mohamed Hassan Alsuwaidi, Chairman of AD Ports Group, said: “The Group’s results reflect not only the scale and resilience of its diversified business model and integrated clusters, but also the growing confidence that customers, partners, and investors place in AD Ports Group as a long-term driver of sustainable growth. AD Ports Group’s operational agility enables it to pivot profitably in volatile trading environments to produce consistent strong results through the cycle.”
Captain Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, Managing Director and Group CEO – AD Ports Group, said: “Our performance in 2025 reflected the disciplined execution, the growing maturity of our asset base, and the increasing strategic importance of our corridor-focused and regional strategy to customers and partners worldwide. We continued, guided by our wise leadership, to interconnect our ports, maritime services, logistics platforms, and economic zones into a coherent ecosystem that enables customers to move cargo, capital, and operations more efficiently along key trade corridors.”
A significant achievement was the Group’s ability to leverage its expanding global network presence to win increasing amounts of business from existing major customers, whilst expanding its client base on five continents.
AD Ports Group showcased resilient growth fuelled by the operational ramp up of its main businesses, sustained organic investment in new infrastructure and services, and continued selective mergers and acquisitions activities.
The UAE’s expansion of its non-oil economy, and global supply chain shifts, continued to create financial tailwinds that drove the Group’s profitable global expansion.
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, were just three examples of Group efforts in 2025 to densify its key trade corridors.
