Marsa Al Arab Marina
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Project Overview
The Marsa Al Arab marina is the shimmering blue jewel at the heart of the exclusive Marsa Al Arab hotel and residential development.
The marina is a state-of-the-art maritime facility offering an 82-berth capacity. Designed to host vessels up to 61 meters long, it meets the needs of discerning yacht owners seeking a premium and private cruising destination with immediate access to the open sea.
For this project, Sigma PM Consultancy has partnered with AECOM to design and deliver advanced floating marine solutions.
Marina Design
Pontoon Design
Our design uses reinforced concrete pontoons engineered for heavy-load buoyancy, longevity, and exceptional performance in extreme weather conditions. Their resistance to corrosion, rust, and degradation results in minimal maintenance over their lifespan.
In order to enhance their functionality, we have customised them to accommodate environmentally rated connection boxes and fender systems.
Mooring Design
We used traditional mooring in the form of strong-welded galvanised steel piles and pile guides equipped with rollers. The piles feature attractive fiberglass pile caps for an enhanced and cohesive aesthetic.
Amenity Design
The marina offers the latest facilities for refuelling and maintenance. Wide concrete walkways support the use of supply and golf carts, therefore ensuring appropriate support is given to crew members and dock staff.
The design reflects the high standards of the Jumeirah Group brand (subsidiary of Dubai Holding), innovating on luxury and setting a new benchmark for marine developments in the region.
Project Outcomes
The Marsa Al Arab marina’s development marks another step forward in enhancing marine infrastructure and accessibility along Dubai’s coastline.
Marsa Al Arab is the latest addition to the Jumeirah Hotel and Resorts trilogy collection on Jumeirah Beach. The superyacht-shaped hotel adheres to a subtle nautical theme, alongside the sail-shaped Burj Al Arab and the wave-shaped Jumeirah Beach Hotel.
