Drydocks World has begun construction of its new head office complex in Dubai, marking a major step in the company’s continued transformation as a global leader in marine and offshore services and reinforcing its commitment to innovation and sustainability.
Scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2027, the new facility will centralise operations, strengthen collaboration, and reflect Drydocks World’s long-standing commitment to innovation, safety, and sustainability. It aligns with the vision of parent company DP World, to create world-class, sustainable workplaces across the Group for its staff.
The modern 44,779sqm facility, built on a 13,390sqm plot adjacent to the existing shipyard, will bring together nearly 700 employees under one roof to enhance communication, coordination, and operational efficiency.

“The project reflects the same commitment to excellence that underpins our new global headquarters at Expo City, and together they show how we are shaping the future of work across the Group,” stated HE Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Group Chairman and CEO, DP World.
“The project also reinforces our alignment with DP World’s long-term strategy to deliver sustainable growth and to strengthen Dubai’s role as a global centre for maritime excellence,” commented Captain Rado Antolovic, PhD, CEO, Drydocks World.
“By combining smart design, advanced technology and sustainable systems, we’re building spaces that reflect our ambition to shape the future of work, trade and the maritime industry,” observed Juan Carlos Sahdala, Group Chief Planning and Project Officer, DP World.
