Dubai’s maritime sector gears up for exponential growth

Dubai Maritime City, the world’s first purpose-built maritime centre and a member of the Dubai World Group of companies based in the United Arab Emirates, has announced that construction on the project – currently in the third and final construction phase - is progressing a full year ahead of schedule.

The project has already generated widespread interest because of its first-of-its-kind integrated maritime concept, as it aims to address the requirements of the global maritime community through its fully integrated facilities, infrastructure, services and regulations. On completion, Dubai Maritime City will incorporate six clusters, spread across a 227-hectare man-made peninsula; which include the Harbour Offices, Harbour Residences, Maritime Centre, Marina District, Dubai Maritime City Campus, and the Industrial Quarter. Several high profile attractions are being developed within the complex, including the UAE’s first National Maritime Museum, the Gulf region’s largest ship lift for ship maintenance and repair and a boat licensing facility. Dubai Maritime City is a 227 hectare fully-equipped, iconic and multidimensional maritime centre providing a world-class infrastructure and environment for the global maritime industry and related sectors. Dubai Maritime City capitalizes on the strengths of Dubai as a regional and international hub for trade and commerce, redefining the global maritime industry. It will provide a strategic location for the maritime industry sectors across the full spectrum of maritime business - maritime management, maritime services, maritime retail and recreation, maritime education and research, ship repair and maintenance, yacht repair and maintenance.
