The proposed collaboration will assess expanding bunkering services for vessels calling at the port while promoting the use of lower-carbon marine fuels such as LNG, biofuels and methanol.<\/p>\n
The agreement also covers the potential development of fuel storage infrastructure, terminal facilities and fuel sampling and testing capabilities, creating the foundations for a broader range of marine energy services as demand for cleaner shipping solutions continues to grow.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis collaboration reflects our commitment to forging strategic alliances that create long-term, sustainable value,\u201d said Saif Al Mazrouei, chief executive, Ports Cluster at AD Ports.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy working alongside trusted partners such as IRH, we are enhancing our capabilities and supporting the development of future-ready infrastructure and services that reinforce the UAE\u2019s position as a leading global trade and logistics hub, in line with the vision of our wise leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n
The partners say the initiative is intended to strengthen Khalifa Port\u2019s position as a multi-purpose, deep-water gateway capable of supporting increasingly efficient and sustainable maritime operations.<\/p>\n
IRH Global Trading plans to build a diversified international minerals and energy trading platform spanning LNG, LPG, crude oil and petroleum products. The proposed partnership would combine those trading capabilities with AD Ports Group\u2019s port infrastructure and logistics network.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis collaboration with AD Ports Group reflects IRH\u2019s commitment to build strategic partnerships that drive real economic impact,\u201d said Ali Rashed Alrashdi, group chief executive of International Resources Holding.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we continue to develop our global energy trading platform, bunkering and alternative marine fuels represent a high-potential area of growth.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cWe see Khalifa Port as an ideal base from which to explore these opportunities, and we look forward to working closely with AD Ports Group to bring them to life.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
