RAK Ports unveils berth
01 December 2018
RAK Ports, which oversees the seaports of Ras Al Khaimah, has announced the opening of the first of two new deepwater berths constructed at Saqr Port.
The project at Saqr Port has been ongoing since mid-2017 and is one of the largest engineering initiatives to have taken place in the Northern Emirates in recent years.
The first berth was completed earlier in October this year and is now fully operational.
Captain Cliff Brand, chief executive officer of RAK Ports, said: “The opening of our first new berth at Saqr Port significantly increases the capacity of Saqr Port, which already handles in excess of 55 million tonnes of cargo per year, and with the second new berth scheduled to complete in March 2019 we envision significant growth in the number of vessel and cargo movements through Saqr Port in future years.”
