Gulftainer launches bonded corridor linking Fujairah and Sharjah
Service allows cargo to move under customs bond from Fujairah Terminal to Sharjah Dry Ports in Sajaa with 12 days free storage.
Gulftainer has launched a bonded logistics corridor connecting Fujairah Terminal with Sharjah Dry Ports in Sajaa, United Arab Emirates. The service allows cargo to move under customs bond from Fujairah to Sharjah, where customs clearance can take place. The company offers 12 days of free storage under the new service.
Customs clearance and cargo movement#
The corridor links Fujairah's maritime facilities with inland logistics infrastructure at Sharjah Dry Ports. Customers can arrange customs clearance in Sharjah rather than completing the process at the initial port of arrival. Cargo moves between the two locations under customs control. The company has not disclosed expected cargo volumes, frequency of movements or transit times for the corridor.
Sharjah Dry Ports facility specifications#
Gulftainer rebranded its Sajaa inland facility to Sharjah Dry Ports. The facility spans 70 hectares and is located 90 kilometers from Khorfakkan Port. It includes a fully interlocked yard of 50,000 square metres, 5,000 square metres of warehousing, and 30,000 square metres of bulk and container storage. The site has direct road links to all major UAE ports.
Monthly throughput reaches 150,000 TEU#
Sharjah Dry Ports handled 150,000 TEU in a single month, the highest monthly throughput in its history. The facility was originally launched as Gulftainer's second bonded dry port in December 2025. It offers bonded storage, cold chain solutions, and access to manufacturing hubs. The facility provides connectivity to Sharjah, Khorfakkan Port and regional trade corridors.
Service scope and infrastructure#
The bonded logistics corridor builds on Gulftainer's investment in inland logistics infrastructure, including bonded dry port facilities in Sajaa. The service combines port connectivity with customs-controlled cargo movements and storage. The company has not specified whether the 12-day free storage offer applies to all cargo categories or is subject to additional conditions.
