Transport

With major port, airport, road network and railway projects under way, Abu Dhabi’s transportation sector has become a major focus of investment in recent years. International investors and developers are playing a central role in infrastructure planning, construction and management, which is seen as a strategic priority driving the emirate’s economic growth and diversification initiatives. Home of the country’s capital, Abu Dhabi City, and comprising nearly 90% of its land area, 30% of its population and around 60% of the national GDP, Abu Dhabi remains an important player in the administration and development of both local and national transport systems. This chapter contains an interview with Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, CEO, Abu Dhabi Ports.
