Dubai Maritime City is a maritime-focused development project located in the city of Dubai. It is part of Dubai's ambitious plan to establish itself as a global maritime hub and a centre for maritime-related industries.
Dubai Maritime City is situated on a man-made peninsula between Port Rashid & the Dubai Dry Docks. It is strategically located near the heart of Dubai's business and commercial districts. The main purpose of Dubai Maritime City is to create a specialised zone for the maritime industry, including shipping, shipbuilding, ship repair, maritime services, and related businesses. It aims to provide a comprehensive platform for the maritime sector to thrive.
Dubai Maritime City is designed to offer world-class infrastructure and facilities to attract maritime businesses from around the world. It includes state-of-the-art shipyards, dry docks, repair facilities, marine workshops, and office spaces. Like many other economic zones in Dubai, Dubai Maritime City operates as a free zone. This means that companies established within the city can benefit from various incentives, including 100% foreign ownership, tax exemptions, and simplified business regulations.
