‘Margo’ will streamline clearance and delivery process of personal cargo at Abu Dhabi gateways
Maqta Gateway, the developer and operator of the first port community system in the UAE and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Abu Dhabi Ports, recently hosted its 5th Digital Trade Community Forum, further advancing the country’s digital transformation efforts in the trade and logistics sector.
Acting as a networking event connecting Abu Dhabi Trade stakeholders with key strategic partners and customers, the annual forum attracted more than 400 participants. The guest list included prominent leaders representing key organisations within the maritime, trade, and logistics industry.
The event also served as the launch platform for Maqta Gateway’s recent innovative solution, Margo, which is a digital marketplace for cargo clearance and delivery solutions. Margo enables consumers importing personal goods from anywhere around the world through Khalifa Port or Abu Dhabi International Airport to clear and have their goods delivered directly to their homes anywhere in the UAE.
“As trade enablers and trade champions, we realised the opportunities that digitalisation offers and the benefits it would bring to Abu Dhabi and the UAE, and our partners and customers,” said Captain Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, Group CEO, Abu Dhabi Ports.
“We are confident it will be a valuable addition to our portfolio of digital innovations, further increasing demand for Abu Dhabi Ports’ services while promoting sustainability through diversification,” stated Dr. Noura Al Dhaheri, CEO, Maqta Gateway.
Margo is supported by leading logistics providers who have helped shape and optimise the process of cargo clearance from various ports of entries to customers’ doorsteps. These include MICCO Logistics, Etihad Airport Services Cargo, Agility, Kanoo Shipping, GAC and Sharaf Shipping Agency. Other service providers are welcome to register online.
