Chemstore FZCO, a joint venture between Modern Freight Company LLC (MFC) and Horizon Terminals Limited (HTL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Emirates National Oil Company (Enoc), has announced the official opening of Phase III of its exclusive facility in the Jebel Ali Free Zone.

Chemstore offers a state-of-the-art storage centre for hazardous chemicals, with 8,000 sq m of storage space and capacity for 36,000 drums and loading bays capable of handling up to 30 trucks at any one time.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Hussain Sultan, CEO and Board Member of the Enoc Group of Companies, said: “In line with our commitment to provide excellence in our products and services, the investment in Chemstore Phase III ensures it is the most comprehensive, safety-conscious and modern facility in the UAE.”
Located in the Jebel Ali Free Zone, Chemstore accommodates a wide range of hazardous chemicals, drummed or bagged and palletised or non-palletised, falling under NFPA 30 classifications IB, IC, II, IIIA and IIIB, to offer maximum flexibility.
