en.Wedoany.com Reported - AD Ports Group recently signed a framework agreement with Romania's National Port Management Company to jointly explore investment and development opportunities in Constanța Port. The agreement covers potential new construction and renovation projects, digital upgrades, and sustainability initiatives, including renewable energy utilization, waste management, and emission reduction measures.
This move marks the UAE group's entry into a key gateway to the Black Sea region while accelerating its expansion along the Middle Corridor connecting China and Europe. Group CEO Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi stated, "This framework initiates cooperation with a vital maritime hub in this region and helps support our efforts to build a Eurasian logistics network."
As a crucial node for Black Sea and European inland trade, Constanța Port handled approximately 88 million tons of cargo and 1 million TEUs in 2025. Its multimodal network connects sea, rail, road, and river transport, making it a key hub for the flow of grains and bulk goods in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
The agreement further expands AD Ports Group's footprint in Central Asia and the Caucasus region, where it has previously integrated logistics, shipping, and terminal assets. In 2025, the group established a joint venture with KTZ Express to launch a multimodal hub in Tbilisi and partnered with SEMURG Invest LLP to build a grain terminal in Kuryk Port. Additionally, the group deployed tanker capabilities through a joint venture to transport crude oil in the Caspian Sea and expanded into Tajikistan in December 2025 through a partnership with the Avesto Group.
Headquartered in Abu Dhabi and founded in 2006, AD Ports Group is an integrated trade, transport, and logistics operator responsible for developing and managing ports, industrial, and logistics infrastructure. Romania's National Port Management Company is a state-owned entity responsible for the management, maintenance, and development of Romania's maritime port infrastructure.
