AD Ports Secures UN Code for Al Faya Dry Port

AD Ports has successfully obtained a UN code designation for its Al Faya Dry Port facility, marking an important regulatory milestone for inland container logistics operations in the United Arab Emirates. This certification enables the dry port to operate as an officially recognized intermodal hub within the UN's standardized port classification system, improving its legitimacy and interoperability within global supply chain networks.

The UN code certification is significant for regional trade flows because it formally establishes Al Faya as a compliant logistics node, enhancing its attractiveness to freight forwarders, shippers, and carriers seeking reliable inland alternatives to coastal congestion. For supply chain professionals, this means improved documentation standardization, smoother customs clearance processes, and better integration with digital trade platforms that depend on UN-coded facility identifiers.

This development reflects the UAE's strategic emphasis on diversifying its logistics infrastructure beyond port terminals, particularly as e-commerce and inland distribution networks continue to expand across the Middle East. The certification positions AD Ports to capture greater market share in containerized transshipment and inland warehousing, while supporting regional supply chain efficiency through reduced dwell times and improved visibility.
