Etihad Rail, the developer and operator of the railway network in the United Arab Emirates, has signed a memorandum of understanding with Globe Express Services, a logistics company from UAE to permit the latter to use the railway network to develop its market position. GES has a spectacular growth in the region, especially in UAE and has a strong presence in Saudi Arabia as well.
The railway network of Etihad Rail “comes with many opportunities and offers us a more sustainable and more efficient route for goods transport”, declared Mustapha Kawam, Managing Director for GES.
Upon completion, the railway network managed by Etihad Rail will have 1,200 km and will connect UAE to Saudi Arabia and Oman, linking Ghweifat, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, the northern emirates and important transport hubs such as Al Ain and Madinat Zayed.
