The projects, which broke ground on Monday, are scheduled for completion in 2023 and increase the number of marina berths by 246, according to a statement.
The developments include a mix of marina facilities and ferry terminals that will be built in Rabdan, Al Saadiyat Island, and Al Aliah Island. It will also include a marina and ferry station in Jebel Dhanna, with completion slated for the third quarter of 2023.
