Abu Dhabi Terminals (ADT) has announced that it has set a record by exceeding 10 million man-hours without Lost Time Injury (LTI) and by handling 20 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) containers. These achievements represent significant milestones for ADT since its inception.
Recording more than 10 million man-hours without LTI is rare across the industry. It reflects ADT’s commitment to maintaining a zero-accident work environment by adhering to a stringent HSE policy, audits, and regular safety briefings.
The new throughput milestone follows the handling of 3.29 million TEU in 2022, an increase of 22 per cent from the previous year. ADT succeeded in maintaining a notable pace and consistent year-on-year growth since KPCT’s inauguration in 2012, reflecting its increasing role as a crucial supply-chain hub connecting local and regional trade to global markets.
Robert Siersema, Acting Chief Executive Officer of ADT, said: “These milestones represent another remarkable achievement by the entire team which indeed emphasizes that ADT continues to be a leading semi-automated container terminal operator in the world. It is a testament to ADT’s vision, mission, and values that investments and partnerships with key stakeholders continually improve and expand our capabilities and show tremendous results.
“We pride ourselves on our commitment to serving our customers efficiently, and they are all sharing this success with ADT. We will continue to strive to exceed their expectations.”
Michael Anderson, HSE Manager, ADT, said: “ADT does not compromise safety. As a world-class global container terminal, safety governs every aspect of the business. This remarkable safety milestone could not have been achieved without all ADT employees and stakeholders’ exceptional teamwork and attention to detail.”
Fareis AL Menhali, CT Director, ADT, added: “Handling 20 million TEU demonstrates the powerful position of Abu Dhabi Terminals due to its diverse and increasing trade base, strategic and significant hinterland connections. We are continuously committed to supporting the economic growth of Abu Dhabi and the UAE and providing our customers with fast and efficient services.”
