How Project Advisory Services Delivered a Complex Multi-Port Capex Programme on Time
Delivery of all CAPEX projects in the “Ports Region” ( Khalifa Port, Mina Zayed, Fujairah Port and Sir Baniyas Island) with a joint yearly value exceeding 1 billion AED.
Challenge
This portfolio of projects had ambitious KPIs attached across a diverse portfolio of port projects and delays were not an option as the commitments to future tenants had to be honoured.
Solutions
All projects were mapped to organisational priorities, resource constraints and market opportunities and prioritised based on impact, urgency and feasibility. Real-time dashboards, linked to both financial and operational performance indicators, enabled senior management to monitor progress, validate spend and spot early warning signs
Regular forensic schedule reviews identified critical-path risks and enabled rapid course corrections.
By using our project advisory services and implementing tight oversight on contract compliance, scope definition and risk-sharing, contract disputes and delays were minimised.
Outcomes
Over delivery of project targets in 2022 by 51% (1.29 billion AED vs. 854 million AED) and in 2023 by 21% (1.06 billion AED vs. 876 million AED).
This data-centric oversight ensured rapid decision making and enabled proactive interventions to avoid bottlenecks or value leakage.
In addition, contract lifecycle management was streamlined, with rapid claims resolution and compliance tracking.
