H.E Eng. Hassan Mohamed Juma Al Mansouri, Undersecretary for Infrastructure and Transport Affairs at the UAE Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure said: “The UAE plays a vital role in strengthening the capabilities of the trade and logistics sector around the world.

A key contributor to the sector’s success is its breakbulk and project cargo segment, which has grown from strength to strength over the years.

Our national competencies such as the top-notch capabilities and state-of-the-art infrastructure of the ports played a significant role in enabling the success of the sector and driving the economic growth of the country.

Banking on this and the progress of several leading organisations dealing in breakbulk and project cargo, the industry in the UAE has been able to survive and grow despite the challenges of the pandemic.

According to a report by Mordor Intelligence, the UAE freight and logistics market is expected to record a CAGR of more than 5 per cent until 2026.

We look forward to ensuring that this progress is heightened through industry collaborations among companies operating in the sector via networking opportunities provided during events such as the BBME.”

with Breakbulk Middle East will thus play an integral role in highlighting the importance of the sector and reaffirming our role in contributing to its progress, locally, regionally and globally.

Within the UAE that is a gateway to the Gulf, Indian Subcontinent, and African Markets, we are indeed working ceaselessly through our 20 leading ports that are well equipped to facilitate the smooth functioning of the project cargo sector.
