It has also earmarked AED1.3bn ($345m) in capital expenditure for the development of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage terminals in 2026-28.
The group said 2025 was a year of record revenue and profits. It posted revenue of AED20.77bn and net profit of AED2.07bn, up 20% and 16%, respectively, from 2024.
Its ports, economic cities and free zones, and maritime and shipping clusters were the key drivers of growth.

The company launched an asset monetisation programme in Q3 2025 to deleverage and optimise its balance sheet over the medium term.
The programme targets debt reduction and is intended to enable the recycling of AED4.6bn ($1.3bn) of capital in 2025 into higher-return projects aligned with its core business.
Separately, AD Ports Group said operations across its clusters continue as normal amid current regional developments.
