Strategic Location. Industrial Gateway.

Khalifa Port

Khalifa Port will be a state-of-the-art, efficient gateway for import and export. Ideally situated between two major cities and two major airports, the Khalifa Port will be linked by a nation wide freight rail line, excellent highway systems and roadways and utility distribution networks. The port will receive all ship sizes, including the largest container ships and bulk vessels. Thoroughly extensible, it will be able to accommodate even larger vessel sizes, as they are manufactured. The Khalifa Port will accommodate a wide range of cargo, including containers, break bulk, liquid and dry bulk cargos; it will also feature state-ofthe-art unloading and storage facilities. Mandated along a five stage phased development approach, the Khalifa Port is expected to start early operation by the end of 2010.

World-Class. World-Scale.

Industrial Zones

Khalifa Industrial Zone will be divided into distinct clusters, each providing appropriate infrastructures and services needed to support the activities in the zone. This zone will be tailored to high impact industry such as smelters, concrete production, heavy machinery manufacture, chemical & petrochemical plants, pulp & paper mills and food processing. Located between residential and high impact industry areas, this zone is dedicated to less impactful industries such as light manufacturing, food packaging & processing, glass manufacture and vehicle assembly.

Heavy Industry Impact Zones

Low to Medium Industry Impact Zones

High Technology Zones

This zone focuses on technological industry such as electrical components, alternative energy, incubator facilities and research facilities.

Commercial Zones

Retail showrooms, office parks, hotels, leisure facilities, shopping, service centres and leisure activities enhance the community for residents, staff and visitors. Two vibrant residential communities provide a dynamic home for people working in the KPIZ region: New Town and Workers City. Both residential districts provide all of the necessary requirements for an enriched life, including educational and recreational facilities, mosques, shopping and emergency resources.

Residential Zones
One highlight of the industrial zone is the presence of the worlds largest single-site aluminium smelter, Emirates Aluminium (EMAL). Already under construction, the smelter will produce a capacity of up to 1.4 tons of aluminium per year. EMAL will deliver collective benefits to both the port and companies operating within the industrial zone.
