Inside CSP
CSP ADT, the first international green-field subsidiary of COSCO SHIPPING Ports Limited, owns a future-ready, state-of-the-art facility at Khalifa Port. CSP ADT started operations in December 2018, with a handling capacity of 2.5 million TEUs. As a deep-water terminal, operating at a depth of 18 metres, we accommodate mega vessels with a carrying capacity of over 20,000 TEUs.
As a semi-automated container terminal, CSP ADT at Khalifa Port offers facilities for full and partial bonded container shipments, a full range of container packing services, short-term warehousing for de-consolidated cargo as well as easy connectivity with other container terminals. Our infrastructure includes 11 quay cranes (STSs) and 32 ARMGs with the largest Container Freight Station (CFS) in the Middle East, spanning 275,000 square metres.
CSP ADT is the first in the Middle East to implement an AI-based, autonomous, driverless, battery operated Qomolo Q-truck system. Six electric Q-Trucks now support loading and unloading activities within the facility’s container yard. The Q-Trucks deliver a significant reduction in CO2 emissions and serve as a viable business continuity solution in the event of any labour crisis.
CSP ADT also runs an advanced Fleet Management System (FMS) for overseeing daily activities utilising Q-Trucks. Integrated as part of the operational control tower, the platform provides real-time monitoring and workflow management processes, while simultaneously connecting to multiple systems within the terminal.
