Etihad Rail and AD Ports Group have launched a direct freight service connecting Fujairah Terminals with Abu Dhabi's Industrial City. This rail-based logistics route shortens handling chains and brings port services closer to manufacturers and distributors. Three times a week, containers will travel 200 kilometers from Fujairah to ICAD, where customs clearance and inspection facilities await.
ICAD's UN location coding system designation allows for seamless shipping line, freight forwarder, and cargo owner booking of shipments. The service aims to simplify logistics processes, reduce the time between vessel arrival and final delivery, and enhance business flexibility in moving goods between maritime gateways, production centers, and end markets.
Etihad Rail Freight CEO Omar Alsebeyi emphasized the integration of cargo movement with customs and inland handling, while AD Ports Group CEO Saif Al Mazrouei highlighted the new route's role in linking Fujairah Terminals, the national rail network, and ICAD within a single logistics system.
