Mourjan Marinas ..... fast establishing itself as a thriving maritime hub.

Doha's premier marina set for expansion

DOHA, October 19, 2014

Mourjan Marinas – Lusail City, the premier marina in Qatar's capital Doha, has begun construction of 49 new modern floating berths in response to increasingly high demand for new docks in the country.

Mourjan Marinas – Lusail City lies at the heart of the prestigious Lusail City development. Currently running at high occupancy, the marina is fast establishing itself as a thriving maritime hub for Doha and the region, said a statement from the company.

With this addition, the number of modern floating berths in the marina will rise to 142, it added.

The expansion will create a larger display area for the upcoming Qatar International Boat Show 2014 (QIBS), which takes place for the second time at Mourjan Marinas – Lusail City from November 11 to 15, said the company statement.

The new berths will range between eight and 10 m initially to accommodate a higher number of small-sized boats, and will be available for agreements by November 20, it added.

Commenting on the move, Wayne Shepherd, the general manager of Mourjan Marinas, said: "We are delighted to announce this milestone expansion, which rounds off a fantastic year of achievements for us."

"Mourjan Marinas – Lusail City has progressed quickly since construction work first began in October 2010, from being awarded Boat Owner Middle East’s ‘Most Interesting Marine Development’ in December 2013, to accruing Clean Marina accreditation in 2014," stated Shepherd.

“It is very pleasing to see an increasing demand for the boating industry in Doha, and we look forward to displaying the new docks when we welcome the industry’s leading exhibitors at next month’s Qatar International Boat Show 2014,” he added.-TradeArabia News Service
