Through this collaboration, the Integrated Transport Centre (Abu Dhabi Mobility) reaffirms its commitment to supporting initiatives that align with Abu Dhabi's urban development and economic diversification goals, while advancing the quality of maritime services in line with the emirate's vision for a modern and sustainable infrastructure. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with partners to further elevate the maritime sector."Capt Saif Al Mheiri, CEO of Abu Dhabi Maritime and Chief Sustainability Officer at AD Ports Group, said: 'We had a tremendous response to the Abu Dhabi Maritime Awards last year, with triple the number of submissions we received in the programme's first edition. With this expansion to 13 total awards categories and one special recognition, we hope to bring even more global attention to the exciting work and ideas across the regional marina industry. We look forward to seeing participating marinas' achievements this year and to sharing them with the world.'Returning to the third edition are the five categories recognising exceptional performance by marinas in Customer Experience, Employer Excellence, Health & Safety, Innovation, and Sustainability. The Outstanding Marina award goes to the marina that has shown distinction across all five this year are six project and individual-based award categories to supplement the awards' six existing accolades for marina organisations.A seventh new category, Outstanding Emerging Marina, will become the programme's second top honour. Designed specifically for small and medium enterprises, it has the same criteria as the Outstanding Marina category but is limited to marinas with 200 or fewer Marina and Outstanding Emerging Marina award applicants are automatically considered for the five organisational sub-categories. However, to ensure equitable opportunity for all participating marinas, winners of the top two honours will be excluded from wins in additional organisation-based new project-based categories will reward the most impactful marina Sustainability Project, Innovation Project, and Wellbeing Project. These awards give marinas a chance to showcase a single standout programme or initiative. These categories are designed to recognise targeted efforts with demonstrated success, rather than organisation-wide three new individual categories will celebrate the people making a difference in the regional marina industry. With the Outstanding Leader Award, Outstanding Service Hero Award, and Rising Star Award, the Abu Dhabi Maritime Awards aim to acknowledge the managers and workers who inspire their colleagues, customers, and the returning Most Popular Marina recognition will also feature in the programme's 2025 edition. Later this year, members of the public will be invited to cast their votes for their favourite marina through a tamper-resistant online portal.

AD Ports hosts first ship-to-ship LNG bunkering at Khalifa Port
AD Ports Group, a leading global enabler of trade, transport and logistics, recently hosted its first ship-to-ship (STS) liquified natural gas (LNG) bunkering operation at its flagship deep-water Khalifa Port. This move reinforces Abu Dhabi's position as a key hub for alternative marine fuels and sustainable maritime solutions, said a statement. The STS bunkering was part of a simultaneous operation, in which the container vessel MSC Thais - berthed at Abu Dhabi Terminals, received LNG fuel from the dedicated LNG bunker vessel Green Zeebrugge, supplied by marine fuels provider Monjasa. The operation demonstrated the concurrent transfer of LNG and cargo, in addition to highlighting AD Ports Group's ability to integrate complex and efficient services into its port infrastructure and operations, whilst facilitating access to lower carbon fuels, which support both the industry and global environmental objectives. Captain Saif Al Mheiri, CEO of Abu Dhabi Maritime and Chief Sustainability Officer at AD Ports Group, said: 'By adhering to the highest safety and environmental standards, AD Ports Group and Monjasa are ensuring that shipowners have reliable access to a diversified fuel mix that supports their decarbonisation objectives. AD Ports Group will continue to explore and implement forward-looking solutions that drive progress toward global sustainability goals.' Liquified natural gas offers reduced greenhouse gas emissions and significantly less sulphur oxide, nitrogen oxide, and particulate matter emissions compared to traditional marine fuels. AD Ports Group and Monjasa will continue expanding LNG bunkering services across the group's commercial ports in Abu Dhabi, including cruise vessels at Zayed Port, while offering a comprehensive fuel portfolio that includes Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO), Marine Gas Oil (MGO), and High-Sulfur Fuel Oil (HSFO), it said.
