AD Ports Group has signed a new agreement with Eni Abu Dhabi B.V., the Abu Dhabi-based branch of the world-renowned Italian Integrated Energy Company, to establish a marine logistics base at Mugharraq Port supporting offshore drilling operations in the heart of Al Dhafra region.

Mugharraq Port's ultra-modern infrastructure and its strategic location close to the region's offshore oil and gas facilities will be made available to Eni Abu Dhabi operations.

In addition to being provided a dedicated quay wall, marshalling yard, as well as manpower and logistical equipment, the company will also have access to liquid mud and bulk plant facilities onsite.

Saif Al Mazrouei, Head of Ports Cluster, AD Ports Group, said:

"Utilising the industry-leading infrastructure and service capability that we have on offer at Mugharraq Port, Eni will be able to operate in proximity to its offshore drilling facilities benefiting operational efficiency."

Mubarak Al Mazrouei, Port Director – Al Dhafra Region, AD Ports Group, said:

"Mugharraq Port has a rich history as a leading maritime facility in Al Dhafra region that has long supported a wide-range of offshore, general cargo, bulk and break-bulk, and commercial logistics operations.

"With enhanced capabilities to serve the GCC's oil and gas market, as well as the recent recognition as an international port facility, Mugharraq Port is now well equipped to meet both the regional and global requirements of the Middle East's leading energy players."

A high-performing commercial maritime facility, Mugharraq Port has undergone extensive modernisation in recent years with AD Ports Group investing heavily in the development of the port's logistical infrastructure and capabilities, as well as enhancing its capacity to meet the evolving needs of the region's fast-developing offshore oil and gas segment.
