| Jebel Ali port capacity to increase 10-fold (26 October 2006) |
The container capacity at Dubai's Jebel Ali Port will increase nearly 10-fold to 67 million twenty foot-equivalent-units (TEUs) by 2030 from the current 7-8 million, a report said.
There are over 5,500 companies registered with the Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority (Jafza), including 140 Fortune 500 firms and dozens of internationally renowned brands. Latest figures show a huge 41 per cent jump in exports, said the Gulf News report quoting a statement.
The figures were revealed during a visit to the zone by a 64-member delegation of business leaders from the West African state of Ghana.
They were given a detailed presentation of Jafza's achievements and future plans, including the synergy that will be created when the Jebel Ali Airport is completed. |
