| Background |
The New Doha Port Steering Committee plans to build a new port in Economic Zone number 3, Al Wakra, south of Mesaieed area, Qatar.
The New Doha Port will be developed in 3 phases. The new port will be linked to the mainland by an 8.5 Km long trestle bridge. Phase 3 will include a container terminal, berths, an administration and customs complex and a tug and pilot boats berth area. It will support the industrial development in the area and will be developed in phases to reach a final capacity of 6 million 20 TEU per year by 2030.
The first phase of the project will give the port a capacity of 2 million 20 TEU per year.
The existing Doha port is likely to be decommissioned due to the site's physical constraints on expansion projects.
