Drydocks Wrold - Dubai 

Twenty-five years of maritime engineering excellence

The visionary zeal of H.H. Sheikh Rashid Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, the late Ruler of Dubai has seen the growth of Dubai from a trading town to a modern city. Dubai Drydocks was conceived and built as the largest ship repair yard in the world under his direction and guidance and opened by H. E Queen Elizabeth II in 1979 before becoming fully operational in 1983.
