AD Ports Group announced that Khalifa Port has risen to 39th place in the Lloyd's List Top 100 Ports for 2025, continuing its upward trajectory since first entering the ranking at 95th in 2019.

The port's improved position reflects consistent growth driven by expansion, digital integration and operational efficiency. AD Ports Group said the rise highlights Khalifa Port's role as a logistics gateway and Abu Dhabi's growing presence in global trade.
