Our Project Logistics Alliance member for Germany, Alexander Global Logistics (AGL), is displaying the success of their partnership agreement with the Abu Dhabi Ports Group (AD Ports), our Port Partner in the Middle East. The agreement established in 2022 entails that both companies will work closely to form a transhipments hub dedicated to handling pulp and paper products.

On the 8th of March 2023, only 2.5 days after MV “TRAWIND ROC” docked at Port Khalifa, the stevedores from Abu Dhabi Ports Group announced the completion of all discharging operations. 14.500 MT of unitized wood pulp made it off the vessel and into the brand-new warehouse managed by Alexander Global Logistics, ready to be furtherly distributed within the region.

This shipment aligns with AGL and AD Port’s strategic plan of moulding Port Khalifa into a new distribution hub for pulp and paper in the Middle East. The vessel commenced its voyage under the commercial control of AGL in mid-February; after around two weeks of sailing, it was promptly received by a team of highly professional stevedores provided by AD Ports. Discharging operations were performed around the clock, ensuring a speedy completion of the task within 2.5 days only.

As this was the first shipment for a particular trader, the success laid the foundation for future deliveries. So far, the next sailing from Europe is already firmly scheduled. Congratulations to AGL and AD Ports for this shipment completion, and we can't wait to see what this partnership has in store for us!
