APM Terminals’ Africa-Middle East Region (AME) is involved in a large and diverse portfolio of ports and container terminals. Activities in 13 ports in 12 countries include services for container shipping lines, bulk, general cargo and cruise line operators. APM Terminals is also a provider of marine services and acts as port authority. Services provided also include rail, training centers with state-of-the-art crane simulators and real estate leasing (primarily offices and warehousing around the ports).

In West Africa APM Terminals has a presence in nine ports in eight countries, with several port and terminal facilities currently undergoing expansion. APM Terminals is committed to developing and operating modern port facilities in high growth markets such as Africa that provide local businesses with access to world markets through direct vessel calls, or through transshipment through regional hubs.

APM Terminals is presently active in three Middle Eastern locations. The Port of Aqaba in the Red Sea, serves not only the domestic Jordanian market, but is also a safe and efficient gateway for Iraq and other countries in the Levant. The Port of Salalah, Oman, is a major transshipment hub serving the growing population of the Indian Ocean Rim. Salalah also provides facilities for bulk and general cargo, and is a regular stop on the cruise lines’ schedules. In the Arabian Gulf, the brand new Khalifa bin Salman Bahrain Gateway port combines container, bulk and general cargo services in a strategic location that is 45% closer to markets in the upper-gulf than other transshipment port in the region.

In Colombo, APM Terminals is a shareholder in the South Asia Gateway Terminal (SAGT), Sri Lanka’s largest container terminal, and a major regional transshipment hub.
