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 (20 Carbon Steel including 10 with
IFR and 20 Stainless Steel including 10 insulated with
heating/cooling system) for a total of 100,000 CBM storage
capacity. Each tank has a devoted pipeline to a dedicated berth of
16 meters draft and dedicated truck loading bays, therefore,
eliminating the risks of cross product contamination, promoting
maximum operating efficiency and flexibility to the customers.
Additionally, the site has a 500 sqm warehouse for dangerous
goods and provision for drums/IBCs filling.
The terminal has an independently operated third party fully
equipped surveyor laboratory for sampling and testing.
ACTAD operates with an Integrated Management System following
International Standards; ISO-9000, 14000, 18000, CDI-T and
ISGOTT.
The Terminal will help local industries to import their liquid
chemical needs in bulk or export their liquid chemical products to
the globe. It can also 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.
ACTAD is an extension of Arabian Chemical Terminals LTD in Saudi
Arabia (ACT-KSA). ACT-KSA is an owner/operator of two other
terminals, one in Yanbu on the Red Sea coast and one in Jubail
Commercial Port on the Arabian Gulf. From its humble beginnings in
1986 in Yanbu, ACT-KSA was the first commercial tank farm
established in Saudi Arabia, starting with 13,000 CBM of storage
capacity. In 2012 ACT-KSA built the first commercial bulk storage
facility in Jubail adding a further 70,000 CBM of storage capacity
with tanks varying in specifications and in sizes. The Jubail
terminal is currently under expansion to add a further 70,000 CBM
of capacity.
