Shipping To Dubai

Dubai shipping industry is becoming a global shipping hub.Dubai has several commercial ports and the Dubai Creek is popular with local traders. There is the man made commercial deep water port named Mina Rashid port popularly known as port Rashid. It supplements the Jebel Ali port by providing passenger and Ro-Ro facilities.

There is a large dry dock facility in the Persian Gulf which is the only one in the region and is adjacent to the Mina Rashid port. All this provide tremendous impetus to Dubai shipping.

The Jebel Ali port is about thirty-five kilometers from the heart of Dubai and it is considered to be the world’s largest man-made harbor and also the biggest port in the Middle East. The Jebel Ali port is adjacent to the Jebel Ali free zone an industrial area popular for offshore business. Interestingly the Jebel Ali International Airport is being constructed in this area.

Dubai port world was set up in the year 2005 to manage its ports and has since emerged as the best of the lot in the entire region and has also been able to make its presence felt worldwide.  It proved to be a successful corporate integration between Dubai Ports Authority and DPI Terminals and has thus helped augment Dubai shipping.

The Dubai Creek generally handles  dhow traffic.A dhow is a traditional sailing vessel having one or more triangular sails. These indigenous vessels are mainly used by local traders of the Arabian Peninsula, India, and East Africa. In earlier days dhows use to make commercial journeys between the Persian Gulf and East Africa with the Dubai cargo being mostly dates, fish and mangrove timber. As modern ships gradually took over and Dubai shipping coming to the foreground the use of dhows became limited.
