China firm wins RAK marine job

The government of Ras Al Khaimah has signed a US $94 million (AED 348 million) contract with China Harbour Engineering Company to carry out marine works as part of the development and expansion of Hulayla Industrial Park in Ras Al Khaimah.

The marine works contract involves the creation of a 2.5km long inward water channel which will provide direct water access to the Hulayla Industrial Park.

The access channel will be dredged to a depth of 7m and a 5km long quay wall will be constructed around the perimeter of the port basin.

Halcrow is the consultant for the project.

HH Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi, crown prince and deputy ruler of Ras Al Khaimah, said the government was committed towards putting in place the right industrial and logistics infrastructure to support the rapid industrial development taking place in the emirate.

"I hope that the proposed marine works at Hulayla Industrial Park will offer locational, infrastructure and logistics advantages to the industries and help them gain more competitiveness as well as attract new industries to the emirate."

Hulayla Industrial Park is located around 15km north of Ras Al Khaimah city.
