[ZZ-II]

looks quite good

[Julito-dubai]

I just enlarged the one of the flash player pictures on the website of maritime city where they show those tall skyscrapers. Some of the towers seem to be about 65 to 67 floors high and the one on the left seems something like 70 to 75 floors at least

[AltinD]

Check a previous post, it clearly says 23 - 34 floors over a 5 storey podium.

[dubaiflo]

that does not mean other towers on the island could be taller. however i think the maximum height will be 40-50F.

[Dubai-Lover]

construction is well underway on the first building which now stands above the whole island at 6-7 floors or so

it should be the squared tower in the foreground of this picture directly located at the water

[Julito-dubai]

imre, is it possible to have access to DMC? IO think there are a lot of towers under construction we have never heard of...

I would say upgrade only one major port and that will be Jebel ali port because it has a more convinient Location, but then there's also Palm Jebel Ali

Looks like UAE is gona run our of water before it runs out of desert.

Construction Works in Dubai Maritime City
On Schedule

The City’s Six-lane, 1.2 kilometres long causeway fully complete to connect the mega project with Dubai




Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Development and construction works of Dubai Maritime City, the world’s first purpose-built maritime centre, and member of Dubai World Group of companies, are progressing apace, with the six-lane causeway connecting the mega project to Dubai now fully complete and finished on time.

In addition, 50 per cent of the planned industrial precinct (managed by JADAF Dubai) in the Maritime City is now complete and operational. This landmark has been passed three months ahead of the original Dubai Maritime City development program schedule.

The progress in the development of the industrial precinct is the latest milestone to be reached in Dubai Maritime City. It is now physically accessible to traffic via a 1.2 km long, six-lane causeway which was completed on time and links Dubai Maritime City to Dubai itself.

“We are pleased with the significant progress that has been made on the project so far. One of our proudest accomplishments to date is that we have been able to achieve this ahead of schedule,” said Mr Amer Ali, the CEO of Dubai Maritime City.

A number of other infrastructure developments in the industrial precinct are also currently well underway, with the 3,000 tonne ship lift operational and the larger 6,000 tonne ship lift standing at more than 70 per cent completion. More than half of the warehouses and workshops are also operational, and when completed the precinct will have the capacity to berth more than 80 vessels.

A significant event for Dubai Maritime City is also the establishment of Dubai Maritime City Authority. The Authority was established pursuant to a law passed by H.H. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President and Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai. This law established Dubai Maritime City as the official independent maritime authority and regulatory body in Dubai, with jurisdiction over maritime operations and activities.

“Dubai Maritime City will play a pivotal role in centralizing operations and providing regulation in this - sometimes fragmented - global industry. The full value chain of maritime services offered will yield great revenues for Dubai and the UAE as it will ensure more efficient operations and sustainability,” Mr Ali added.

Buiding a place of worship in a middle of an industrial area. Like they couldn't find some more appropriate place for it.

[Hollie Maea]

Should industrial workers not be allowed to have a nearby place to worship? It's not like this is the only mosque in Dubai. This project is not 100 percent industrial.

[rexdmx]

they should then open the mosque in the most quiet location for worship for the muslims there...in the middle of the industrial zone may not be appropriate but i do understand the need.

Dubai Maritime City to construct UAE’s first specialized Maritime Museum


One of Middle East’s most comprehensive maritime exhibits to play key role in the development and preservation of UAE’s rich maritime heritage


September 20, 2007



Dubai Maritime City (DMC), the world’s first purpose-built maritime centre, has announced plans to construct and operate the UAE’s first specialized maritime museum, in a move that will see the creation of one of the most comprehensive maritime exhibits in the Middle East. The Museum will be located in the Academic Quarter of the Maritime City, and will play a key role in contributing to the development and preservation of the UAE’s rich cultural and maritime heritage.

Preliminary plans reveal that the 4,000 square metre museum will provide graphic displays, artefacts, multi-media tools and demonstrations, and contain exhibits such as marine life, history of the region, boating and pearling records, Arab navigation technologies, and other major marine-related industries.

“The museum will be a celebration, not only of the region’s rich maritime heritage, but also of the current and future technological developments related to the maritime sector in which Dubai plays such a key part. On completion, this Museum will be one of the largest Maritime Museums in the Middle East, and will become a must see attraction for anyone residing in, or visiting, Dubai and the surrounding emirates,” said Ali Al-Daboos, Chief Operating Officer, DMC.


“It is our goal to add more value to the global maritime community by creating a prestigious, and integrated, state-of-the-art development that will provide complete infrastructure, services and regulations for the international maritime industry. By including the Museum in our plans, we are demonstrating that we are not only providing the infrastructure, but we are also trying to put a soul into the city,” Al-Daboos added.

On completion, the museum will form an essential link between the industrial, residential and commercial users of Dubai Maritime City, with the more casual visitors, whether international tourists or local residents. It is only one of the planned educational facilities to be incorporated in the City, as the dedicated Academic Quarter will also feature an academy that will provide maritime training and research. Other quarters within the Maritime City will include the Harbour Offices, Harbour Residences, the Maritime Centre, a Marina District, and the industrial quarter – operated by Jadaf Dubai.

The museum is the latest in a string of announcements for the multi-purpose maritime centre, as a number of other developments in the project progress ahead of schedule. The six-lane causeway connecting the mega project to Dubai is now fully complete, while around 50 per cent of the planned industrial precinct in the City is now complete and operational.

“We are proud to build a museum that will certainly join the ranks of distinguished maritime museums all around the world. It will become another drawing card for Dubai Maritime City, adding to the many benefits of living and working in the city, which already include a strategically important location, world class infrastructure, free zone benefits, responsive government support, a tax free business environment and an effective port structure,” Al-Daboos concluded.
