Khalifa Industrial Zone

Khalifa Industrial Zone

The Khalifa Industrial Zone in Abu Dhabi is a joint project which is initiated by the Government of the Emirate and is actively supported by the private business. The KIZAD free economic zone was founded in the end of 2010 and occupies the area of over 400 square kilometers. It is the largest industrial zone with the special economic status in the Middle East. It is one of the Governmental projects to diversification of the economy and getting rid of oil dependence.

The KIZAD Free Zone: a long-term investment project

The implementation of the project is the part of the integrated strategy of economic development of the Emirate until 2030. This project plays a key role in the development and implementation of long-term economic goals and perspectives. After the completion of the Khalifa international shipping port, and going into operation the vast storage facilities, the economic zone has received the necessary resources for ensuring the uninterrupted operation and attracting the foreign investments.

The combination of port facilities and possibilities of KIZAD industrial zone opens, for business, the completely new solutions in the field of international transport logistics, which make it possible to minimize the production and other costs.

Khalifa Port as the part of the infrastructure

It should be noted that the port area is designed for processing of 13-14 million tons of cargo annually. Today, there are no similar platforms, in the Middle East, which are equipped with the automated terminals. The navigable waters of the port provide the ability of servicing the largest ships and tankers. The port area, at the final stage, will process more than 50 million tons of cargo annually.

The main feature of the Khalifa Port is the fact that it is located in the open water, in 5 km from the coastline, what provides a platform with the huge functionality and unlimited possibilities for the processing and receipt of the maritime cargoes. The port area is connected by a bridge with the mainland, and all the necessary handling equipment for different purposes is located on the specialized container platforms. There are corresponding terminals for customs clearance and related procedures, and also the infrastructure for container traffic and delivery of cargo to the storage facilities.

The International experts predict that the strategic location of the Khalifa Port will have a serious influence on the regional production, logistics and industrial chains in the future. The economic zone, supported by strategically located shipping port, will provide the open access to all regional and international markets. It is more than 5 billion of end users in four different time zones.
