When it comes to big-budget construction projects, very few beat the scale and scope of major shipping port developments. With the possble excpetion of airport develpments, the scale of ports projects far excedes that of almost any other construction project.

Some projects are simply staggering in their size. The new Khalifa Port and Industrial Zone will cover an area of 420km2 when fully developed - and plans include a paper mill. aluminium plant, industrial city and sprawling residential area. Others are simply extensions to exisiting ports, while others, like the Boubyan Island, Kuwait are designed to transform the national economy with the anticipated rise in trade pouring through the port.
