We are committed to continuing ADT’s growth and attracting more shipping lines to use Khalifa Port as their main hub port, consolidating its central role in Abu Dhabi’s port system and economy”. Commenting on the transaction, Philip K. Haddad, Managing Partner of MIP said: “ADT has consistently grown its activities throughout our ownership period. This is a testimony of our strong engagement with our partners and ADT’s management team who have implemented consistent strategic and operational improvements that continue to transform and drive ADT as a leading dynamic and innovative port operator in the region.
