Khorfakkan Port plans capacity expansion to 10 million containers a year

Khorfakkan Port in the UAE is planning a major expansion that could double its container handling capacity to 10 million annually. The port, situated on the Gulf of Oman, currently handles up to 5 million containers per year. Its plans for growth are part of a broader network that links ports, logistics complexes, border crossings, and trade corridors across Sharjah and the UAE.

With deep-water berths and advanced ship-to-shore cranes, Khorfakkan Port is equipped to handle the world's largest container vessels. The port's east coast position enables direct access to international shipping routes, strengthening its role in global trade. The port's expansion aligns with efforts to enhance connectivity between Sharjah's eastern and western coasts, integrating the emirate's ports with logistics and transport infrastructure.

This integrated system aims to improve trade flows, supply chain resilience, and provide better access to regional and global markets, supporting the UAE's position as a global trade and logistics hub.
