Gulftainer of the UAE Opens Bonded Logistics Corridor from Fujairah to Sharjah

en.Wedoany.com Reported - On November 9, UAE port and logistics operator Gulftainer announced the opening of a new bonded transport corridor connecting the Fujairah Terminal with the Sajaa inland logistics facility in Sharjah, allowing goods to be transferred under customs supervision from Fujairah to the Sharjah Dry Port, with customs clearance procedures completed at the destination. The new service also offers 12 days of free storage, giving importers an additional route for transporting goods and completing customs clearance into inland markets via a port on the UAE's east coast.

Under the operating arrangements of the new corridor, goods arriving at the Fujairah Terminal can be transferred to the Sharjah Dry Port under bonded supervision, with import customs clearance completed at the inland destination rather than requiring all clearance procedures to be handled at the seaport of first arrival. This model links port unloading, inland transport, bonded storage and destination customs clearance, providing importers who need to distribute goods to Sharjah and the northern regions of the UAE with a new logistics organization method.

The Sharjah Dry Port connected by this service is located in the Sajaa area of the Emirate of Sharjah. On November 6, 2026, Gulftainer renamed the former Sajaa inland logistics facility as the Sharjah Dry Port to reflect its business positioning within the manufacturing park, regional distribution centers and cross-border trade routes. The facility covers an area of 70 hectares, is approximately 90 kilometers from Khor Fakkan Port, and has 50,000 square meters of paved yard, 5,000 square meters of warehouse, and 30,000 square meters of bulk and container storage area, and is connected to major UAE ports by road.

The Sharjah Dry Port also provides bonded warehousing and cold chain services, capable of handling containers, bulk cargo and goods requiring temperature-controlled management. Gulftainer disclosed that the facility once handled 150,000 TEUs in a single month, setting its own monthly throughput record. This figure reflects the operational scale of the entire inland facility.

With the opening of this bonded corridor, Gulftainer further connects the Fujairah marine terminal with Sharjah's inland warehousing and customs clearance facilities, allowing goods to continue into the inland logistics network after being unloaded at the port.
