AD Ports Group Expands Credit Facility to $2.125 Billion

AD Ports Group has refinanced and increased its revolving credit facility (RCF) from $1 billion to $2.125 billion, aiming to optimize financing costs by improving interest margins and extending the facility’s maturity from 2026 to 2028, with an option to extend further until 2030.

The new facility has garnered significant interest from local, regional, European, Asian, and international banks, leading to an oversubscription of over 2.5 times the facility amount.

This strategic move is expected to enhance AD Ports Group’s financial flexibility, enabling the company to pursue its long-term strategic initiatives, including investments in port infrastructure, logistics, and real estate development.

In September 2024, AD Ports Group strengthened its liquidity position by refinancing and upsizing its syndicate loan and Islamic debt facility.

The expansion of the RCF aligns with AD Ports Group’s vision of becoming a global leader in integrated logistics and transportation services.

Industry experts have pointed to this refinancing as a sign of the growing strength and financial health of AD Ports.

The company’s diversified portfolio, which spans across container ports, logistics hubs, industrial zones, and offshore services, provides a strong foundation for leveraging this expanded credit line.

As AD Ports Group continues to expand its global presence, this refinancing positions it to maintain its momentum and meet the evolving needs of its clients and stakeholders.

The facility’s enhanced size reflects the company’s strategic shift toward larger-scale operations, enabling it to tackle both regional and global challenges with increased financial agility.

This development also marks a significant milestone for AD Ports as it seeks to integrate more sustainable practices into its operations.
