He then directed them to utilise the global technologies to complete the project.
Phase I of the project valued at Dh800 million includes the construction of two 650-metre docks with a 18-metre depth and cranes with a capacity of 4,000 tonnes per hour, while eight berths will be constructed in the later phases to meet the requirements of all maritime commercial activities and increase the UAE’s competitiveness in the field of high-capacity ports.

The project is being implemented by four leading companies in the field of maritime docks, loading machines and port infrastructure.
The development of the port at an overall estimated cost of Dh1.6 billion aims to facilitate the transportation of primary materials, to meet growing global demand and the requirements of all types of ships.
