AD Ports secures $115 million financing for Safaga terminal

The financing has received the required approvals, and financial close is expected to occur in Q1 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions precedent.

The funding agreement supports the Group’s strategy to utilise long-term, multilateral-backed financing to support the delivery of strategic, international long-dated infrastructure assets in emerging markets.

Noatum Ports – Safaga Terminal is located on Egypt’s Red Sea coast and is poised to be the first internationally operated port terminal in the Upper Egypt region.

The terminal forms part of AD Ports Group’s broader strategy to build and operate high-performance port assets across high-growth trade corridors, particularly in Egypt, which has become one of the Group’s most important international markets.

Captain Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, Managing Director and Group CEO, AD Ports Group, said: “This IFC-backed project finance facility reflects our prudent approach to funding long-term infrastructure assets in emerging markets through multilateral and institutional partnerships.

“The participation of IFCNBK – Egypt, and other international investors supports the development of the Noatum Ports – Safaga Terminal and reinforces our growing presence in Egypt, a market of strategic importance to the global supply chain.

“Guided by the vision of the UAE’s wise leadership, we remain focused on delivering resilient infrastructure assets that enhance connectivity, support sustainable economic growth, and create long-term value for our stakeholders.”

Makhtar Diop, Managing Director, IFC, said: “Enhancing trade is key to stimulating economic development; this transaction demonstrates how IFC can be a strategic enabler for South-South investments.

“The project will strengthen Egypt’s position as a central trade hub, lower costs for local businesses and create high-quality jobs, while also reinforcing the UAE’s position as a regional growth engine and a partner for deeper economic integration.”

Earlier this week, AD Ports Group announced the signing of Heads of Terms (HoT) for the development and operation of a multipurpose terminal at Matadi Port in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
