Borouge to ship out first exports from Khalifa Port

15-Oct-12

Abu Dhabi Terminals (ADT) announced that Khalifa Port received the first shipment of polyethylene for export from Borouge, provider of innovative plastics solutions. The Port received more than 700 containers of polyethylene from the vessel 'Al Bazm II', which had travelled from Borouge's petrochemicals plant in Ruwais, 250 kilometres west of the capital. Previously, Borouge was using Abu Dhabi's Mina Zayed to export its products to customers globally. "The new terminal at Khalifa Port provides Borouge with an efficient and cost-effective distribution point for its broad range of innovative plastics solutions manufactured at Ruwais," said Wim Roels CEO of Borouge's Marketing & Sales Company, who received Borouge's first vessel from Ruwais at the Khalifa Port. "Routing our polyethylene and polypropylene products through the new Khalifa Port enables us to better serve our customers throughout Asia and beyond, and we look forward to Khalifa Port's contribution to the successful growth of Borouge in the international plastics industry," he added.
