Dubai: Nakheel said on Sunday that it plans to invest Dh15 million to increase boat mooring capacity on Palm Jumeirah, with two new marinas that will bring the total berths on the island to 600.
The project is due for completion this year and the marinas will accommodate a total of 44 boats and yachts up to 30 metres long, thus complementing Nakheel’s two existing marinas on the island, at Palm Views East and West, which are already at full capacity with 556 moorings.
Nakheel has appointed Majestic Marine Engineering LLC to build the new facilities, with Applied Technology & Management, the appointed consultants, the Dubai-based developer said in an emailed statement.
