Hutchison Port Holdings (HPH) has signed an agreement with Ajman Port Authority for the development and operation of Ajman Port in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
A company will soon be established to operate the container terminal in Ajman Port for a concession period of 10 years.
Ajman Port lies just 25km from Dubai and 10km from Sharjah, where most of the UAE’s manufacturing and trading companies are located, making it a strategic port to capture cargo coming from and destined for South East Asia, South America and Australia, as HPH states. The main container and general cargo berths of the terminal have a total quay length of 1,250m and a yard area of 12.9ha.
