Ships will be able to use second Abu Dhabi port

Wednesday 3rd February, 2010
A second port is being set up in Musaffah in Abu Dhabi to serve manufacturing companies in the special industrial zones.
A second channel leading to the entrance of the proposed new port is currently being dug for ships to have easy access to unload animal stock and materials for local industry.
While Musaffah is already home to a steel mill, shipbuilding dry docks and oil and gas rig fabricators, it has been constrained by its shallow shipping lanes.
Heavy ocean-going vessels have been forced to drop anchor 40 kilometres offshore before transferring their materials to smaller ships.  Email this story to a friend
