United Global Ro-Ro, a new company made by Noatum Maritime (part of AD Ports Group) and Erkport, has started work with its first big ship. This ship is a special kind called a Pure Car and Truck Carrier (PCTC), and it uses LNG (a cleaner fuel) instead of oil. The ship’s name is UGR Al Samha, and it came to Khalifa Port for the first time.

This is a big moment for the company. They want to move cars and trucks across the sea in a smart, clean, and fast way. Khalifa Port will now be their main place to start and stop ships. The ship will also help carry goods to many places in the Middle East, Asia, and the Mediterranean.

The ship can hold over 7,000 cars on its 12 decks. It is built in a smart way to carry very heavy things and big machines too. Since it runs on LNG, it makes less smoke and is better for the earth. This helps the UAE’s goal to have less pollution and protect nature.

Captain Ammar Al Shaiba, boss of the shipping team at AD Ports, said this was a big step for the group. He said, “We are happy to use this new ship. It shows we care about the earth and still want to help move goods around the world in a clean way.”

Tolga Emrah Gezgin, head of United Global Ro-Ro, also shared his thoughts. He said, “This is just the start. We are happy our ship reached Khalifa Port. We plan to move many cars and trucks in a way that doesn’t harm the earth. This will save money and also cut pollution. We will keep working hard and send out more ships soon.”

After this first visit, UGR Al Samha will start going to different places regularly. It will carry cars and trucks to places where people need them. This work is part of Noatum Maritime’s plan to grow and use better fuels in the future.

Many people from shipping companies and other businesses came to Khalifa Port to see the new ship and learn how it works. This ship is the start of a cleaner and stronger sea trade system.
