Sharjah-based logistics operator Gulftainer has inaugurated its second bonded dry port in Sajaa, further strengthening the UAE’s logistics and trade infrastructure. Strategically located between Sharjah and Khorfakkan Port, approximately 90 km apart, the Sajaa Bonded Dry Port is designed to provide “unmatched proximity, multimodal connectivity, and scalable storage, enabling customers to move cargo with greater efficiency and reduced turnaround times.”
The 70-hectare facility features a 50,000 m² yard area, 5,000 m² of warehousing, and 30,000 m² of bulk and container storage, with direct road access to UAE ports. This setup enables efficient cargo handling and seamless connectivity for regional trade operations, Gulftainer suggests.
Commenting on the launch, Farid Belbouab, Group CEO of Gulftainer, said: “This new facility, Sajaa Bonded Dry Port, represents another step forward in Gulftainer’s commitment to enhancing supply chain resilience, supporting regional trade, creating a more connected and agile logistics ecosystem in the UAE, catering to evolving customer needs.”
Sajaa Bonded Dry Port is designed to serve as a strategic gateway for the Northern Emirates, providing last-mile connectivity, cold storage solutions and access to manufacturing hubs and future rail links. Its proximity to key ports and integration with major trade corridors is expected to position the facility as an import rat hub for regional cargo movements and logistics operations.
