Arrange transport of goods to and from the United Arab Emirates
Main Useful Means of Transport
Maritime transport remains the principal means to transport goods. 90% of freight inbound to the Emirates arrives as ocean freight, much of it carried in shipping containers. Dubai’s Jebel Ali is the most important ocean freight port in the UAE, and it is one of the world’s largest artificial harbour. The UAE has 12 commercial trading ports, other than oil ports. Overall, 61% of cargo destined for GCC states arrives via the UAE's seaports. Air and land freight transport remains less important than maritime transport. Land transport is virtually non-existent.
