repair industry. Major ports like Jebel Ali and Khalifa Port have undergone significant
transformation to handle larger vessels and enhance trade efficiency. At Grandweld, our

shipyard is designed to address these dynamic demands of the global maritime sector,
with a strong focus on adopting advanced technologies and sustainable solutions”, he

cutting-edge infrastructure and a strong emphasis on eco-friendly practices further

exemplify the principles championed by the “Make it in the Emirates” initiative. Through

its participation, the shipyard reaffirms its dedication to advancing the UAE’s transition
toward a cleaner, smarter and more resilient industrial economy.
