Drydocks World and Maritime World, a leading service provider to the shipping, maritime, offshore, oil, gas and energy sectors, is set to showcase its Dubai Maritime City and other projects at a major exhibition in Greece starting on June 2.

 

Posidonia, an exhibition that provides access to Greek and international ship owner and buyers, will run till June 6 at the Metropolitan Expo in Athens.

 

Khamis Juma Buamim, chairman of Drydocks World & Maritime World, said: “We are really pleased to be back once again at Posidonia, an event that takes place every two years in which we participate on a very regular basis. The Greek shipping community has always been adept at managing both the operational and the business sides of shipping making them the owners of the largest independent fleet in the world.

 

“Drydocks World & Maritime World has been offering   high quality state-of-the-art services to the international marine and maritime industry ever since its inception. Over the years we have done excellent business with the Greek shipping community with the business interactions increasing over time. Our participation in this event will cement this already solid relationship and will assist in growing this further.”

 

The Dubai Maritime City (DMC) is well on target for completion by Expo 2020. It is being developed on over 2.27 million sq m, will comprise the Marine and Business districts and is designed to encourage a community lifestyle with facilities for office, residential, retail and recreational and leisure purposes on offer. 

 

The plots in the Business District are for mixed use and will allow for residential, commercial or hospitality related developments and are under various stages of implementation. Additionally there are innumerable advantages of being situated on the Jumeirah coastline, close to the heart of the trading hub of Dubai and in close proximity to the international airport and cruise line hub at Port Rashid.

 

Drydocks World is also making major inroads into the repair & refurbishment, conversion and new building of rigs and offshore construction projects. 

 

The company has been handling projects such as Dolwin beta HVDC Offshore Wind Energy Platform, which will eventually be towed to Germany, the Solan subsea oil storage tank for UK and the largest turret ever built for Prelude FLNG, which will be located near Australia.  

 

Also on display at the event will be the initiative on the green harbour tug. DDW and DMC staff will be available to provide details on these initiatives as well as to provide insights to services and facilities available and ways in which these can be customised to meet the specific needs of individual clients. - TradeArabia News Service
