 Dubai
Maritime City, the world's largest and the
most comprehensive maritime complex in the
world,
has begun construction of industrial
workshops and warehouses in the iconic
project.
Several industrial workshops and warehouses
will be constructed, which will form a vital
part of the relocation of Jadaf Dubai to the
Maritime City.
Jadaf Dubai - one of
the oldest ship repair yards in the Arabian
Gulf, which is currently located at Dubai
Creek - will be relocated in the industrial
section of the Dubai Maritime City,
occupying just under half of its 2.4 million
square metres total area. Said a spokesman.
The construction assumes increased
significance as it marks the rapid progress
in the development of this dynamic
development, which is expected to provide a
major impetus to regional maritime trade.
Dubai Maritime City is also going full steam
ahead with setting up the new shiplift
facilities. Construction of the support
structures for the new facilities is
currently under way.
"As the process gathers pace, we have
initiated the construction phase of the
warehouses and workshops in the industrial
section, which will facilitate better use of
support infrastructure, this is indeed a
significant milestone for us and is in line
with our objectives to have easy access,
conformity and fulfillment of our industry
requirements. Dubai Maritime City is taking
rapid strides to accomplish this unique
concept which is set to far outstrip
expectations," said project manager, Dubai
Maritime City, Amer Ali.
When completed, Dubai Maritime City will be
the world's biggest and the most
comprehensive maritime complex spread across
227 hectares of man-made peninsula between
Port Rashid and Dubai Dry Docks, and will be
surrounded by the waters of the Arabian Gulf. |
