Dubai Maritime City supports rapidly growing boating community

Dubai Maritime City, the world's first purpose-built maritime centre and part of the Dubai World Group of companies announced that the maritime centre is poised to support the region's rapidly growing boating community and maritime operators.

The support will be through its comprehensive ship repair and maintenance facility situated in the Industrial Quarter and managed by Dubai Drydocks. When fully completed, the ship repair complex will have a top capacity of over 80 vessels, which is considerably greater than existing facilities. 'Dubai Maritime City has been established not just to cater to the requirements of the maritime sector, but to add more value to the whole maritime community by enabling full integration and easy interaction among maritime businesses and services. Dubai Maritime City's self-contained development concept provides unparalleled benefits to investors, business organizations and all boat owners in terms of efficiency, productivity and comfort. This dream project is something the entire boating community can truly call its own.' said Ali Al-Daboos, COO of Dubai Maritime City. With 227 ha of gross floor area, and a new law establishing the Dubai Maritime City Authority as an independent maritime authority and regulatory body, the state-of-the-art integrated facility is expected to provide unprecedented premium value to the entire boating community, particularly in Dubai, where up to 50,000 boats are expected to be located within the next five years.
