Adnoc L&S Q1 revenue up 41pc year-on-year
The company's net profit for Q1 2025 was $185 million, down 5% from Q1 2024 due to lower commercial shipping rates, but up 3% from the previous quarter.
Despite market conditions, Adnoc L&S's strategic diversification and resilient business model ensure strong net profit and operating cash flow.
The company is unlocking additional value and efficiencies from its extensive portfolio of assets and leveraging synergies from its shipping and logistics subsidiaries, Navig8 and Zakher Marine International.
Abdulkareem Al Masabi, CEO of Adnoc L&S, said: 'Adnoc L&S continues to deliver robust financial results and significant business growth. Our recent acquisition of 80% of Navig8, and the integration of their capabilities into our expansive services portfolio, further strengthens our customer offerings and international footprint, unlocking new shareholder value. Moving forward, we will continue to deliver on our transformational growth strategy while leveraging cutting-edge technologies and AI solutions to further enhance operational efficiencies."
SEGMENTAL FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE FOR Q1 2025
Revenues from the Integrated Logistics segment increased to $628 million (AED2,307 million), up 23% compared to Q1 2024. The increase was largely driven by higher revenues from Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) projects including the Al Omairah Island and Hail & Ghasha projects, and improved utilisation and rates earned from Jack-Up Barges (JUBs). Integrated Logistics' EBITDA rose by 15% to $182 million (AED669 million) compared to Q1 2024.
Revenues from the Shipping segment increased 87% to $469 million (AED1,722 million), compared to Q1 2024, driven primarily by the consolidation of revenue from the Navig8 tanker fleet. Shipping EBITDA increased 26% to $143 million (AED527 million) compared to the same period last year, generating a robust EBITDA margin of 31%.
Revenues from the Services segment increased 9% to $84 million (AED310 million) compared to Q1 2024. EBITDA from the Services segment grew 52% year-on-year to $18 million (AED66 million), mainly driven by higher Borouge Container Terminal volumes and shares of profit from Integr8.
Strategic Update
In the first quarter of 2025, Adnoc L&S continued to accelerate its transformational growth strategy. In January, the Company completed an acquisition of an 80% stake in Navig8 for ~$1 billion (AED3.7 billion), adding a modern fleet of 32 tankers and expanding the Company's services portfolio.
Adnoc L&S continues to secure its future earnings. The Company has added 340 years of newly contracted revenues against its recent order of energy-efficient vessels, including $2.95 billion (AED10.8billion) invested into eight new Liquified Natural Gas Carriers, nine Very Large Ethane Carriers, and four Very Large Ammonia Carriers.
Additional growth is driven by the Integrated Logistics business segment through long-term contracts and improved utilisation for Jack-Up Barges (JUBs) in the UAE and the GCC region, including hire contracts for the deployment of 19 JUBs, and the acquisition and deployment of nine Offshore Support Vessels to support EPC projects. -TradeArabia News Service

UAE's Air Arabia To Co-Launch Saudi Low-Cost Airline Flying 81 Routes From Dammam Hub
Saudi Arabia is launching a new national low-cost airline, with operations based out of King Fahd International Airport in Dammam, as part of a broader push to transform the Kingdom into a regional aviation hub. The General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) announced that a consortium led by UAE-based Air Arabia, Kun Investment Holding and Nesma Holding, has won the bid to operate the new carrier. The airline will begin operations with a fleet of 45 aircraft, covering 24 domestic and 57 international destinations, and aims to serve 10 million passengers annually. This expansion is part of Saudi Arabia's National Transport and Logistics Strategy, a key component of Vision 2030, which seeks to diversify the economy and enhance the Kingdom's competitiveness in transport, logistics, and tourism. According to GACA, the new low-cost airline will enhance air connectivity to and from the Eastern Province, improve operational efficiency, and boost seat availability at King Fahd International Airport. The airline is also expected to create more than 2,400 direct jobs and raise service quality across Saudi Arabia's growing aviation market. Air Arabia's inclusion in the consortium reflects its expanding regional footprint and aligns with its strategy of entering high-growth partnerships to serve underserved routes. This latest venture positions the Dammam airport as a growing hub for affordable air travel and supports the Kingdom's goal of moving 100 million passengers annually by the end of the decade.

Syria signs $800 mn port deal with UAE-based company
Syria signed an $800 million deal with UAE-based company DP World yesterday to develop the port of Tartus, state media reported, as the new authorities continue their efforts to support post-war reconstruction. Following the toppling of longtime Syrian ruler Bashar al-Assad in December, the new Islamist authorities have worked to reconnect the country to global companies and kickstart reconstruction after 14 years of civil war. 'In the presence of President Ahmed Al-Sharaa, an agreement was signed between the General Authority for Land and Sea Ports and DP World, valued at $800 million, as a strategic step aimed at enhancing port infrastructure and logistics services in Syria,' state-run news agency SANA said. Following the signing of the deal, DP World CEO Sultan Bin Sulayem said Syria's economy had 'significant assets, including the Port of Tartus, which represents an opportunity to transport and export many Syrian industries.' In a statement also shared by state media, he pledged to make Tartus 'one of the best ports in the world.' DP World operates dozens of marine and inland ports and terminals globally, particularly in Asia, Africa, and Europe. The Syrian civil war devastated the country's infrastructure, and the new authorities hope to use the lifting of Western sanctions to attract investments and fuel reconstruction efforts. Qutaiba Badawi, head of the General Authority for Land and Sea Ports, said the parties were 'not merely signing a technical agreement, but we are laying the foundation for a new phase of field and maritime work in Syria, repositioning ourselves on the regional and international economic map.' In May, Damascus signed a 30-year contract with French shipping giant CMA CGM to develop and run the port of Latakia. That same month, Syria signed a $7 billion energy deal with a consortium of Qatari, Turkish, and US companies as part of efforts to revive its crippled power sector.
