DP World has announced the completion of the Mina Al Hamriya expansion project, enhancing the port’s operational capacity and reinforcing its status as a hub for trade across the Gulf region, East Africa and India. Situated on mainland Dubai, near the Deira Islands, Mina Al Hamriya has been expanded by the construction of an additional 1,150 m of quay wall, increasing the berthing capacity for a wide range of vessels, from traditional dhows to modern breakbulk carriers and ro-ro ships.
The project has extended the port’s quay to a total of 3,140 m and added five new berths, bringing the total to 14. The quay extension was undertaken along with comprehensive dredging works, deepening the draft to 8.5m to accommodate larger vessels and handle a greater volume of goods and cargo, increasing efficiency and throughput at the port. Complementing this expansion, an 86,000m2 apron zone has been developed, increasing the total storage capacity to 403,400 m2.
Mina Al Hamriya’s strategic importance was underscored by its performance in 2023. The port welcomed over 4,300 ships of various types and handled more than 1.6 million tonnes of cargo in addition to significant volumes of vehicles, livestock and containers. The port is also a key import hub for traditional wooden dhows, especially for livestock and fruits and vegetables.
