UAE Boosts Logistics Lead

The UAE is strengthening its position as a logistics hub through the 148-kilometre “Fourth Corridor” project, which will connect Ras Al Khaimah with border areas near Saudi Arabia, ease congestion and improve freight transport. Authorities are also studying links from the corridor to roads leading to the east coast. Between February and October 2026, container handling at east-coast ports rose from 433,000 to 1.8 million containers, while general and bulk cargo increased from 5 million to 15.8 million tonnes. DP World aims to raise the annual capacity of its terminals in the UAE to 21.9 million containers, while developing Al Rughailat Port and the Dibba terminal. A road-freight network has also linked Jebel Ali with regional ports and carried more than 840,000 containers.
