Abu Dhabi's Etihad Rail Freight and AD Ports Group have introduced a new direct rail service connecting Fujairah Terminals with Abu Dhabi's Industrial City (ICAD). This service provides importers, exporters, manufacturers, distributors and logistics firms with a more efficient way to move cargo closer to their warehouses and production sites.
Containers arriving at Fujairah Terminals can now be transported by rail directly to ICAD, where customers can complete customs and inspection procedures and collect their cargo near their operations. The UN location code "AECAD" has been assigned to ICAD, allowing shipping lines, freight forwarders and cargo owners to book shipments with ICAD as the destination and clearance point.
This collaboration between Fujairah Terminals, the UAE National Rail Network and ICAD's customs facilities aims to reduce cargo handling between the port and its final destination, streamline logistics processes, and lower carbon emissions compared to long-haul truck transport. Etihad Rail Freight CEO Omar Alsebeyi emphasized that the service will strengthen Abu Dhabi's trade links by connecting Fujairah's port facilities with the industrial and commercial centres of Abu Dhabi.
