- ABU DHABI: Slowed property development in Abu Dhabi hit container traffic at Port Zayed in the first half of the year but cargo volumes rose, helped by infrastructure projects and higher vehicle imports, a senior port official said on Monday.
The port handled 206,866 containers, down 7 percent, and 2.98 million tons (MT) of general cargo, an increase of 12 percent, said Julian Skyrem, acting chief executive of Abu Dhabi Terminals.
