Etihad Rail hands over Operation Control Center to DB Schenker forming a joint venture company

March 10, 2015

Abu Dhabi


Etihad Rail, the developer and operator of the UAE’s national railway network, has officially handed over control of the Operation Control Center (OCC) in Mirfa to Etihad Rail DB.

Etihad Rail DB is a joint venture company formed between Etihad Rail and the German DB Schenker in March 2014 and will manage the operation and maintenance of the first stage of the UAE’s national railway network on-site from the OCC located in the Western Region of Abu Dhabi.

DB Schenker is part of Deutsche Bahn, Europe’s biggest company in the field of railway operations, which operates the 33,000-kilometre German freight and passenger rail network.

Etihad Rail CEO, Faris Saif Al Mazrouei, led the handover ceremony which represents a key milestone in the operation of the first stage of the UAE’s national railway network.

“The OCC is at the core of the railway network,” he said. “The qualified staff members working in the OCC are responsible for the overall control and command of the system including all train movements and this move is an important step forward for the project.”

Also attending the ceremony was Shadi Malak, acting CEO of Etihad Rail DB. “We are very proud of this major accomplishment and would like to thank Etihad Rail for the world class quality of assets handed over to us,” said Malak. “Knowledge transfer is a key priority in our Emiratisation strategy and we will ensure that the OCC becomes a training center to pave the way for Emiratis to become the UAE’s leading railway professionals.”

Construction of Stage One of the railway network, which will transport more than seven million tons of granulated sulfur annually for the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), has been completed and trains are currently running in the Western Region of Abu Dhabi on a trial basis.

Etihad Rail’s state-of-the-art network will span approximately 1,200 km and is intended to act as a catalyst for economic growth and sustained social development. Upon completion, the railway will enhance logistics and transport in the region, providing a modern, safe, efficient and sustainable mode of transport that will connect all regions of the UAE to the neighboring GCC countries.
