We are DOCKTOUR, the new healthcare logistics platform created through a joint venture between AD Ports Group and Burjeel Holdings. Our mission is clear: to redefine how medical services and infrastructure reach communities across Africa, delivering care where it is needed most.
Unveiled at Make it in the Emirates in Abu Dhabi, we bring together the strengths of two leaders, AD Ports Group’s unmatched logistics capabilities and Burjeel Holdings’ medical expertise. Together, we offer a comprehensive, end-to-end ecosystem for healthcare delivery, integrating logistics, modular infrastructure, training, and emergency response into a single, agile platform.
We complement Operonix, Burjeel Holdings’ operations and management subsidiary, which has a proven track record in large-scale healthcare projects across Africa. Supported by AD Ports Group’s strategic network and logistics infrastructure, we streamline medical supply chains, deploy container-based hospitals and clinics, and establish both field and permanent healthcare facilities.
We are built to deliver impact.
“DOCKTOUR is about delivering impact where it’s needed most. By combining our logistics strength with Burjeel’s medical excellence, we are building a platform that can truly transform how healthcare is delivered in Africa. This is a practical, scalable solution to a growing need, and a reflection of our shared commitment to supporting resilient, community-focused healthcare systems across Africa, in line with our wise leadership vision.”
Captain Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, Managing Director and Group CEO of AD Ports Group
Our platform ensures the timely delivery of critical medical supplies, providing robust emergency response capabilities in alignment with the UAE’s humanitarian aid vision. We also support capacity-building through clinical training initiatives and data-driven inventory and logistics systems that minimize delays and bridge service gaps across the region.
“DOCKTOUR represents a new model of impact. It’s a full-spectrum platform that integrates advanced clinical systems with logistics capability and operational scale. Our aim is to bring care, along with stability, readiness, and partnership, to the regions that need it most.”
Dr. Shamsheer Vayalil, Founder and Chairman of Burjeel Holdings
Beyond logistics, we are exploring the establishment of medical offices across AD Ports Group’s African operations to support healthcare services, medical tourism, and long-term regional growth. By engaging with governments, health authorities, and humanitarian agencies, we aim to deliver care during disease outbreaks, support maternal and child health, lead immunization campaigns, enable disease surveillance, and advance mobile health education.
Our name, DOCKTOUR, reflects our ethos, combining “Dock,” “Tour,” and “Doctor.” It embodies our commitment to delivering agile, accessible, and world-class healthcare, leveraging AD Ports Group’s global presence, 34 terminals, 247-vessel fleet, and logistics network, alongside Burjeel Holdings’ clinical excellence.
As Africa’s population grows and its economy expands, we stand ready to provide scalable, resilient, and community-focused healthcare solutions, transforming how medical infrastructure and services are delivered across the continent.
We are DOCKTOUR, where healthcare meets logistics, and every moment counts.
