UAE port operators AD Ports Group and DP World maintain full operations amid regional tensions. Both companies activated crisis management protocols while keeping all terminals fully functional. AD Ports reports vessel traffic through Strait of Hormuz has declined, reducing ship calls at Khalifa Port, but operations continue uninterrupted. The group's 122 maritime vessels are mostly operating outside the strait while Gulf-based ships continue regional services. DP World's Jebel Ali terminals, the Middle East's largest port handling over 15 million containers annually, operate normally with enhanced security measures. Both operators expect limited overall impact and anticipate potential volume increases as global trade routes shift.
