ARABIAN CHEMICAL TERMINALS ABU DHABI BEGINS OPERATIONS




KUALA LUMPUR, May 16 (Bernama) -- Arabian Chemical Terminals LLC in Abu Dhabi (ACTAD) announced its newly built chemical tank storage terminal in Khalifa Port, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE), has officially opened for business.

According to a statement, the terminal is the first commercial chemical tank farm of its kind in the Emirate.

Strategically located in the new world class Khalifa Port and adjacent to the modern and sprawling Khalifa Economic Zone Abu Dhabi (KEZAD), ACTAD aims to participate in the drive to promote new industries in the Emirate.

ACTAD was designed and built as State of the Art in compliance with the highest international standards and boasts a total of 40 tanks of various specifications for a total of 100,000 cubic metres storage capacity.

Each tank has a devoted pipeline to a dedicated berth of 16 metres draft and dedicated truck loading bays, hence, eliminating the risks of cross product contamination, promoting maximum operating efficiency and flexibility to the customers.

Additionally, the site has a 500 square metres warehouse for dangerous goods and provision for drums/intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) filling, while the terminal has an independently operated third party fully equipped surveyor laboratory for sampling and testing.

The terminal will help local industries to import their liquid chemical needs in bulk or export their liquid chemical products globally as well as act as a storage hub and/or break-bulk operations for international companies as it is strategically located in a bonded zone within Khalifa Port.
