The detail

Shipping from Abu Dhabi: Gateways and Industrial Zones

Abu Dhabi has its own port and airport, so cargo does not always need to go to Dubai. Khalifa Port serves sea freight, and Abu Dhabi International (AUH) handles air cargo. For some routes and schedules, Jebel Ali or Dubai airports offer better sailings or flights, and we choose the gateway that gives the best mix of speed and cost.

Mussafah and KIZAD host many manufacturers, contractors and trading companies. If your goods are in an industrial or free zone, tell us so we plan the export or transfer paperwork correctly.

Who this service suits

  • Abu Dhabi households and expats
  • Abu Dhabi businesses and contractors
  • Industrial and free zone companies
