AD Ports Group

Our growing operations in Spain reflects our long-term commitment to Europe. From our Noatum operations headquartered in Barcelona, we operate 16 ports in Spain and oversee a major Mediterranean rail terminal handling around 1.5 million finished vehicles annually. Spain connects the Mediterranean to global trade routes and leads our sustainability efforts, with 95% of our power requirements sourced from renewable energy.

Spanning around 6,000 kilometres, the Middle Corridor offers a shorter overland route between key global markets compared to traditional maritime routes. With rail forming a major part of the corridor, and the potential for electrified transport across sections of the journey, it supports more efficient cargo movement while contributing to lower-emission trade flows.

The future of global logistics requires balancing operational performance with environmental responsibility. Across our global ports network, we are leveraging data-driven technologies to improve the efficiency of container and vessel movements, reducing fuel use and emissions whilst maintaining speed and reliability customers depend on. By strengthening efficiency at each stage of the journey, we are creating smarter logistics and sustainable trade networks.

The global trade landscape is evolving, with overland routes through Central Asia increasingly providing East–West connectivity. As cargo movement across the 'Middle Corridor' grows, we are investing in strategic partnerships, infrastructure, and services that support reliable and strong trade flows across key markets in the region. By strengthening land-based corridors alongside established sea routes, we are unlocking opportunities for greater regional and global trade. Discover more.

Trade corridors are more than simple delivery routes. Across Africa, Central Asia and Europe, and the Middle East, we are connecting ports, rail systems, maritime networks, logistics supply chains, and digital platforms to unlock trade and strengthen market access. From Kenya and Tanzania to the Republic of the Congo, Egypt, and Angola, we are building long-term partnerships, including with CMA CGM in the Republic of the Congo, whilst investing in local talent and capability.

Efficient global logistics require routes that are connected, reliable, and built for long-term growth. Spanning 6,000 kilometres, the Central Asian 'Middle Corridor' is becoming an increasingly important overland route linking key markets across East and West. Through our growing presence across Uzbekistan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Türkiye, and Pakistan, we are investing in infrastructure, partnerships, and integrated logistics solutions that create smart corridors and efficient supply chains.
