9. Jebel Ali Port, Dubai
Jebel Ali handled some 13.64 million TEU in 2013. Work is currently being carried out at Khalifa Port, Abu Dhabi to develop its capacity too.

The Port of Aberdeen handles around 8,000 vessel arrivals and 5 million metric tons of cargo a year. It is almost at its maximum capacity due to high levels of traffic, and the growth potential for the future is significant across several sectors.
