The heads of terms agreement come after an earlier agreement between Invictus Investment and AD Ports Group to roll out an international dry bulk shipping service that would act as the carrier for the dry-bulk trading business of Invictus.

This dry bulk trading business transports commodities to and from Sudan.

AD Ports Group managing director and group CEO Captain Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi said: “AD Ports Group continues to extend its international reach under the guidance and direction of our wise leadership, supporting the development of port and trade assets in key markets around the world.
