LOGISTICS IN UAE
Ports located both on Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman
Offers services such as Freight forwarding, Warehousing, Transportation services, and Value added logistic services
Currently ranks 27th in the Logistics Performance Index ranking of 2014
Connects a huge amount of traffic between the eastern and western regions of the world
UAE AIRPORTS
UAE AIRPORTS
Aviation contributes to 14.7 % of national GPD Dubai International Airport is the busiest in UAE and it is
the fourth busiest in the world Cargo has been an important aspect of Dubai
International Airport development The freight volume rose to 2.28 million tons in the year
2014 in Dubai International Airport Sharjah International Airport’s freight handling has
reached upto 419116 tonnes The Dubai World Central Al Maktoum International Airport
has the capacity to handle 600,000 tonnes per annum
Ports in UAE
Ports in UAE
Jebel Ali is an integrated multi model hub Contains 22 berths and 78 cranes with total capacity of
19 million TEU The main benefits of UAE includes foreign ownership, no
currency restrictions, no corporate taxes, no personal income taxes,ready-made factories and warehouses, developed infrastructure
Fujairah Container Terminal focuses on high transhipment volumes
Port of Fujairah is the largest bunkering terminal in the region. The annual capacity of Port Fujairah is 24 Million Metric Ton
Ports in UAE
Port of Ras Al Khaimah’s main activity focuses on its cargo handling and has a capacity of 1100 tonnes
Hamriyah port accommodates large and deep drafted vessels and handles all kinds of cargoes with berth capacity of 14
The Khalifa Port handles general cargo and entire Abu Dhabi’s container traffic.
Annual capacity of 2.5 million TEUs and 12 million tons of general cargo
Zayed Port concentrates on the development of its capacity in the segment of general and bulk cargo
UAE already has a national freight and passenger railway system established in 2009
It is built in phases to link principle centers which can also form an integral part of the GCC railways network
Railways in UAE
This will redefine the logistics and transport in the region
Its network distance of Etihad rail is 1200 km which extends from the border of Saudi to border of Oman
But the part network distance for the GCC railways network is 684 km
Their major terminals and distribution centers would be located close to major hubs ,warehouses like Khalifa Port,Jebel Ali port etc.
Economic benefits such as freight cost and travel time savings.
Total length of the road network and highways in the UAE is 4080km
Roadways became an integral part once the Jebel Ali port and free zones opened up
Roadways in UAE
UAE has an amazing road network not only connecting each Emirates but other regions as well
Regional interconnection facilitates movement of cargo and good enhancing UAE’s trade gateway
Future plans of UAE in developing roadways, Mafraq-Ghweifat Highway Project
BAHRAIN
GEOGRAPHIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE OF BAHRAIN An archipelago nation

Population density-age-1729 capita per square km (positive growth of 70.2% in last 10 years)
Median Age-31.6 years
Sex ratio- 1.54
Literacy rate-94.6%
MACRO ECONOMIC OUTLOOK OF BAHRAIN GDP - 32.79 billion USD
Per Capita Income-24,613 USD.
Trade Surplus of Export and Import Activities of 3388 BHD Million.
Member of GAFTA,GCC,MEFTA
Monetary Policies providing stable environment with low inflation rate and currency exchange
Leading options for investors in the region
AIRPORTS IN BAHRAIN Bahrain International Airport is the only international airport in Bahrain, located in the island of Muharraq
The kingdom of Bahrain is the owner of two airlines - Gulf Air and Bahrain Air
Forty-three airlines currently serve the airport
Overall cargo volumes are approximately 353,000 tonnes
“Airport Modernization Program” - to elevate the Bahrain International Airport infrastructure and services
PORTS IN BAHRAIN Khalifa Bin Salman Port, Sitra Wharf ,ASRY (Arab Shipbuilding & Repair Yard Co) and Mina Salman Port
Khalifa Bin Salman Port is the main sea port now in the Kingdom of Bahrain
consists of general cargo facilities, passenger terminal and roll on/roll off ramps.
The port is updated with modern technologies to enable fast clearing of cargo
Khalifa bin Salman, with the capacity to handle about one million 20ft equivalent units (TEUs) of container cargo annually
PORTS IN BAHRAIN Sitra Wharf is used for the import and export of raw materials of manufacturing and petrochemical industries
Arab Shipbuilding & Repair Yard Co handles the repair of various kinds of vessels
Bahrain enjoys duty free imports of raw materials and equipment for manufacturing
Products manufactured in a Free Zone are subject to 5% customs duties when sold into GCC other Arab markets
Other advantages include 100% repatriation of capital, no recruitment restrictions, no Minimum capital required.
RAILWAYS IN BAHRAIN• In the railway section
Bahrain just has a scheduled train project of GCC railways network
• This is expected to connect from Saudi through the causeway to the state of Qatar through the upcoming Qatar-Bahrain causeway
The total project length of the GCC railway network is 2117 km and the length of the track inside is just 36 km
This project was launched in 2013 and is expected to be completed by 2017
• Positive impact on economies ,enhance trade and mobility among goods and citizens between the GCC countries
Total length of the road network and highways in the Bahrain is 4122 km
Roadways is an integral part in Bahrain as it is a small archipelago nation which can be seen in comparison with length of roadways in UAE
Railways in Bahrain
The King Fahd causeway has been vital link in terms of trade and logistics since 18 years
Between the years 2002-2011 the volume of non oil trade between Bahrain and Saudi exponentially rose 233 BHD ($618 Mn) to 851 BHD ($2.3 Bn)
Plans on a new causeway parallel to King Fahd due to the increase in traffic.King Hamad causeway which will increase in the trade and economic activity by 30%
This causeway will include vehicular traffic lanes as well as 20 kms of rail road.
This new causeway will accelerate logistical and trade transactions and also expand the volume of trade exchange
New causeway planned between Qatar and Bahrain which would be about 40km which would reduce travel time to Qatar from 5hr to 30 mins
RESEARCH METHODOLOGYThe research methodology of our comparative analysis consists of three parts. They are,
Research Framework
Data Collection
Data Analysis
RESEARCH FRAMEWORK
There are a number of factors that influence the logistic performance of a country
Logistic Performance
Geographic Profile
Macroeconomic Trends
Demographic Profile
Logistic Infrastructure
LPI factors
DATA COLLECTION
We will be using data from both Primary and Secondary sources for our analysis.
Primary data – Gathered from field experts for a real time understanding of the current scenario.
Secondary data – Collected from various sources such as Internet, Libraries and Magazines.
DATA ANALYSIS
The data collected for the research is mostly qualitative in nature
Analysis will be based on data backed conclusions derived from our primary and secondary data
Recommendations for Bahrain will be based on the result of our analysis
ANALYSIS OF BAHRAIN AND UAE Geography Bahrain occupies only 0.8% of the total land area occupied by UAE
Population Only 55% of the population is made up of immigrants, whereas in UAE it is 80%
Population density of Bahrain(5th highest in the world) is far greater than UAE(125th highest in the world)
Population growth rate in Bahrain and UAE is expected to drop to 0.84% and 0.34% respectively by 2050.
GDP OF BAHRAIN
RECOMMENDATIONS
More capacity in ports and airports needed to meet growing demands
Creation of man made islands around Bahrain could be a more viable option for establishing new ports
More skilled labour required to meet growing industry requirements
More parks like BIIP(Bahrain International Investment Park) needed to attract foreign companies
Ties with Qatar most important to increase exports through the proposed Qatar – Bahrain causeway
Continue investing in Infrastructure to diversify economy
