One of the main objectives of the Qatar National Vision 2030 is economic diversification, which is supported by the container terminals' architecture, which also addresses the growing amount of commerce and makes conducting business easier.

Ports that pass assessment tests, achieve the necessary performance indicators, and adhere to the Foundation's environmental and sustainable management requirements are awarded global accreditation. With the acquisition of this certificate, Hamad Port has made history by being the first port in the Gulf Cooperation Council to join the world's most prestigious network of EcoPorts accredited ports.

In order to serve nations like Kuwait and Iraq and to the south, towards Oman, Hamad Port provides options for cargo transportation into the upper Gulf. This is crucial to Qatar's efforts to diversify its economy and boost its competitiveness in accordance with the objectives of National Vision 2030.
