Abu Dhabi's new Dh26bn port opens for business - The National

A new Dh26.2 billion cornerstone of Abu Dhabi's economic future opened for business yesterday, on time and on budget.

Khalifa Port began unloading containers from the 153,000-tonne vessel MSC Bari at 7am, the culmination of a six-year project to deliver the first computer-controlled, semi-automated port in the region.

Phase 1 of the new port can handle 2.5 million containers a year, and 12 million tons of general cargo.
