Abu Dhabi’s drive to cement its position as a global hub for maritime trade and energy logistics is gaining momentum, with ADNOC Logistics and Services (ADNOC L&S) at the forefront of this transformation. The company, part of the ADNOC Group, is expanding rapidly in line with the UAE’s broader economic diversification strategy and the vision to strengthen its role in global energy supply chains.

ADNOC L&S has reaffirmed its commitment to global leadership in maritime shipping and energy logistics. Speaking to the Emirates News Agency (WAM) during the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC 2025), Captain Abdulkareem Al Masabi, CEO of ADNOC L&S, said the company has evolved into a “global powerhouse driven by an ambitious growth strategy and industrial expansion that continues to deliver value to shareholders.”

He noted that the company now operates in 19 cities across 50 countries, serving more than 100 clients. This growth was achieved through key acquisitions, including Navig8 and Zakher Marine International and the launch of IW Navigation, a joint venture with Wanhua Chemical Group focused on building high-efficiency vessels to meet rising energy demand.

Since 2019, the ADNOC L&S fleet has more than doubled to over 340 vessels, with 23 more under construction. Al Masabi said the company expects to generate over $10 billion in long-term revenues, adding that its value has surged from $1 billion in 2019 to over $12 billion, supported by $10 billion in strategic investments.

He highlighted the company’s focus on technology, noting that ADNOC L&S is “leveraging AI to redefine the future of maritime logistics in the energy sector through integrated digital solutions that enhance operational efficiency, elevate safety standards, and support sustainability.”

Al Masabi added that ADNOC L&S achieved an in-country value of 91.7% in 2025, reinvesting $1.4 billion locally and creating more than 300 new jobs.
