Development of Al-Ruwais Port
Located about 120km north of Doha, Al Ruwais Port is designed to accommodate dhows, coastal trading vessels and a roll-on/roll-off passenger/car ferry, centring on general cargo, fruit and vegetables, livestock and building materials.
It may not be the largest port development underway in the region, but it’s no less important to the local economy.
The port currently caters for over 100 vessels, including fishing boats, customs and Ports General Authority (CPGA), Ministry of Interior and small leisure boats, and it will remain open while the new port is developed.

The work includes dredging of the 3km channel to five metres, while the port basin will be dredged to seven metres and the marina and fishing harbour to 2.5 metres.
Around 2.8 million cubic metres of mud, silt and sand will be removed during the process. It also includes the construction of block work quay walls, fenders, navigation aids, utilities and port furniture, floating pontoons, slipways, fuel storage tank and dispensers, and block paving.
There are also provisions for roads, sewerage, water and drainage works in the contract. The main construction contract was awarded to Consolidated Engineering Construction Company in May.
