Lastly, who provided the sources of funding.. the oil revenue from Abu Dhabi?

Abu Dhabi opens $7.2bn Khalifa Port



Quote:
The Abu Dhabi Ports Company (ADPC), a master developer and regulator of ports and industrial zones, has officially opened the $7.2billion Khalifa Port.

UAE President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who inaugurated the facility, expressed his pride at the completion of projects that are of benefit to the citizens of the homeland and that strengthen the national economy.

He also said that the country provides the necessary support for the maritime transport industry, particularly Khalifa Port, which, when its phases of construction have been completed, will become one of the most important ports for trade in the region and the Middle East, benefiting from the UAE's strategic location to act as a link between the economic regions of the world.

''The opening of this flagship project strengthens our progress and will also contribute to the continuation of the high rate of growth witnessed by the UAE, meeting the aspirations of the country's citizens for a significant base for the national economy," the President said.

Long-term plan charted as Port Khalifa opens

Quote:
When Mina Zayed started operating in 1972, six months before the union of the emirates, oil prices were soaring, while the UAE was only at the beginning of its subsequent boom. The port played a major role in the transformation of Abu Dhabi's economy, and opened up new horizons for business, creating links to the global economy. The country's economic expansion has continued ever since.

Abu Dhabi's ADT signs 30-year Khalifa Port deal

Quote:
Abu Dhabi Terminals said on Wednesday it has secured the exclusive right to manage and operate the first Khalifa Port container terminal by signing a 30-year concession with Abu Dhabi Ports Company.
The state-of-the-art facility, which began commercial operations on September 1 this year, was formally inaugurated last week.
The port's deep sea berths, hulking ship-to-shore (STS) cranes and automated technology are already a big draw for the major shipping lines, officials said in a statement.
Dr Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, chairman of ADPC, said: "The concession secures the effective management and operation of Khalifa Port Container Terminal 1 for the next 30 years and will help to enable significant industrial development and diversification."
