Ajman Port to Undergo Major AED 1 Billion Expansion

Ajman Port is set to undergo a significant transformation as part of a new AED 1 billion investment agreement between the Department of Port & Customs Ajman (DPC) and international port operator Hutchison Ports. The partnership, formalised through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), outlines a long-term development plan aimed at turning Ajman Port into a leading logistics and trade hub in the region.

The 15-year strategy will focus on boosting operational efficiency, integrating AI-powered systems, and enhancing digital capabilities across the port’s infrastructure. The expansion is also expected to attract new shipping lines, modernise cargo handling, and improve overall connectivity, all while supporting the UAE’s broader goals for digital transformation and sustainability in maritime operations.

The agreement was signed in the presence of His Highness Sheikh Ammar bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, Crown Prince of Ajman, who highlighted the port’s vital role in stimulating the local economy. He emphasised the importance of creating eco-friendly, future-ready infrastructure while also developing national talent equipped with advanced port management skills.

According to Sheikh Dr. Mohammed bin Abdullah Al Nuaimi, Chairman of DPC Ajman, the move positions Ajman Port as a strategic link within the UAE’s expanding maritime transport network. With a focus on innovation, sustainability, and long-term economic impact, the project is poised to reshape the emirate’s role in global trade and logistics.
