Arabian Chemical Terminals LLC in Abu Dhabi (ACTAD) has recently commenced operations at its state-of-the-art chemical tank storage terminal in Khalifa Port, Abu Dhabi, UAE. This groundbreaking terminal, the first of its kind in the Emirate, is strategically situated in the prestigious Khalifa Port and adjacent to the expansive Khalifa Economic Zone Abu Dhabi (KEZAD), aiming to contribute to the growth of new industries in the region.
Designed and constructed in accordance with the highest international standards, ACTAD features a remarkable array of 40 tanks with diverse specifications. These include 20 Carbon Steel tanks, 10 of which are equipped with Internal Floating Roofs (IFR), and 20 Stainless Steel tanks, with 10 of them insulated and equipped with a heating/cooling system. With a total storage capacity of 100,000 CBM, each tank is connected to a dedicated pipeline and a berth with a draft of 16 meters, ensuring the elimination of cross product contamination and promoting optimal operational efficiency and flexibility for customers. Furthermore, the terminal includes dedicated truck loading bays and a 500 sqm warehouse for dangerous goods, as well as provisions for drums/IBCs filling.
To guarantee the highest standards of quality, ACTAD operates an independently operated third-party surveyor laboratory on-site, equipped for sampling and testing. The terminal adheres to an Integrated Management System following international standards, including ISO-9000, 14000, 18000, CDI-T, and ISGOTT.
The establishment of this terminal will not only facilitate the import and export of liquid chemical products for local industries but also serve as a storage hub and break-bulk operation for international companies. Its strategic location within a bonded zone in Khalifa Port enhances its appeal as a central logistics hub.
ACTAD is an extension of Arabian Chemical Terminals LTD in Saudi Arabia (ACT-KSA), which operates two other terminals in Yanbu on the Red Sea coast and Jubail Commercial Port on the Arabian Gulf. ACT-KSA, founded in 1986 in Yanbu, was the first commercial tank farm in Saudi Arabia, initially offering 13,000 CBM of storage capacity. In 2012, the company expanded its operations by constructing the first commercial bulk storage facility in Jubail, adding an additional 70,000 CBM of storage capacity with tanks of varying specifications and sizes. The Jubail terminal is currently undergoing expansion to accommodate an extra 70,000 CBM of capacity, further solidifying ACT-KSA’s position in the market.
