Dubai Maritime City displayed Maritime Centre at Seatrade Middle East 2008
Dubai Maritime City, the world's first purpose-built maritime centre and a member of the Dubai World Group of companies, showcased its Maritime Centre during Seatrade Middle East 2008, currently being held at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre from December 14-16, 2008. The show, the Middle East's biggest maritime industry event, was the ideal platform to promote the Maritime Centre, which is considered the focal point of Dubai Maritime City.
Amer Ali, CEO, Dubai Maritime City, said, "A study by renowned consulting firm DNV Maritime Solutions revealed that Dubai is set to emerge as one of the world's most competitive maritime clusters. The Maritime City has been singled out as one of the important elements that will help mould Dubai into a maritime powerhouse within the next few years, and the Maritime Centre forms the core of this visionary development."
The Maritime Centre, the heart of the Dubai Maritime City, comprises a cluster of 5 high-rise towers called the Creek Towers and Plaza; Landmark Tower located at the head of the man-made peninsula and 7 plots reserved for potential real estate developers planning to construct their own towers. The Centre will also feature a 5-star business hotel and premium service apartments, thus emerging as the first exclusive maritime cluster in the world.
