Al Dhafra’s maritime community receives a new home at the multi-purpose port’s quay
Abu Dhabi Ports has recently announced the completion of the second phase of development at Delma Port. Abu Dhabi Ports is leading the developments of Al Dhafra’s premier multi-purpose port and other key maritime infrastructure in the emirate.
Aimed at extending the port’s capability to benefit both the region and the local community’s recreational, fishing and commercial needs, the project will significantly facilitate the movement of landing craft vessels, passenger ferries, pleasure boats, and fishing boats through the new facility.
A key focus of the second phase of the development was the construction of a dedicated 315-metre quay wall, which together with several modern onsite facilities, were designed to specifically satisfy the demands of Delma Island’s and Al Dhafra region’s maritime community.
Capable of accommodating up to 60 boats, the expansion project will allow the region’s recreational and commercial vessels to easily transfer and relocate from the old Delma Port to the new port.
“Projects such as the ongoing development and evolution of the new Delma Port are vital to facilitating the economic growth of Delma Island and Al Dhafra region,” commented Captain Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, Group CEO, Abu Dhabi Ports.
“With the conclusion of the second phase of the development at Delma Port, we have not only provided Al Dhafra’s maritime community with access to modern facilities, but have also built it a new home from where it can continue to grow its business and thrive,” remarked Saif Al Mazrouei, Head of Ports Cluster–Abu Dhabi Ports.
