30,000 dwt drydock in Ajman, United Arab Emirates. Said AHI's Chairman, Mr Obaid Ali Al Muhairi, "The opening of the Al Zora Drydock consolidates AHI's position as the premier medium-size shipyard in the Gulf. The demand for the drydock has been encouraging since it commenced operations in mid November 2000. To date, it has docked a total of seven vessels, the largest of which is M.V. Arabella, a 26,000 dwt bulk carrier from Seven Seas Maritime Limited, based in the U.K. Built within a year at an investment of DH. $20 million, the dock is equipped with modern facilities for enhanced operations and improved flexibility. Measuring 175 x 32 m, the drydock has an extra wide beam allowing it to accommodate a wider range of tonnage of up to 30,000 dwt.
