NBAD to advise Khalifa Port project
Sunday, Jul 18, 2010Abu Dhabi: Abu Dhabi Ports Company ( ADPC ) Saturday said it had appointed National Bank of Abu Dhabi ( NBAD ) as its financial adviser following a tender involving several global institutions.
" NBAD will support ADPC to structure and execute its long term financial strategy as it seeks to deliver the landmark Khalifa Port and Industrial Zone (KPIZ) project," ADPC said in a statement.
Michael Vertigans, vice-president for corporate communications at ADPC , told Gulf News that their contract with NBAD is an "ongoing contract."
Vertigans also couldn't immediately provide information on how many global institutions had bid for the ADPC financial advisor's role.
Located midway between Abu Dhabi and Dubai in the Taweelah Industrial District, KPIZ will begin operations in 2012, and over the long term to 2030 it will comprise 420 square kilometres of prime industrial land organised into vertically integrated clusters for aluminium, petrochemicals, glass, paper and other major sectors.
It will consist of a new, world-class multi-purpose offshore port and one of the largest integrated industrial zones in the world.
Phase 1 of Khalifa Port will open in 2012, replacing Abu Dhabi's existing main port, Mina Zayed.
The new port will have an initial capacity of two million TEUs (twenty foot equivalent units) and nine million tonnes of general cargo.
The dedicated EMAL berth will be operational later this year. When all phases are completed, it will have a capacity of 15 million TEUs and 35 million tonnes of general cargo.
