Financing structures for ports, free zones, and Middle East trade corridors

Financing for ports, logistics zones, and the trade corridors the Gulf sits astride.

Discuss your sector mandate with our Dubai team.

Overview

Financing structures for ports, free zones, and Middle East trade corridors

Our advisors structure infrastructure financing, private equity investments, and guarantee mechanisms that de-risk the expansion of ports, free zones, and logistics infrastructure along Gulf and Middle East trade corridors.

The Gulf’s position between Asia, Africa, and Europe makes logistics a strategic sector, not a service one. Ports, free zones, and corridor infrastructure are financed as long-dated assets whose value rests on throughput commitments and regional trade flows.
