"The project is set to improve security and safety measures for maritime traffic and commercial

operations within Dubai Creek, he noted.

As a significant symbol of the city’s growth, Dubai Creek serves as a vibrant artery at the heart of Dubai.
Facilitating the passage of over 13,000 ships annually, it plays a key role in fostering the economic and
social prosperity of the emirate.

"We have implemented several measures to mitigate the risks posed by climate change and rising sea
levels, closely monitoring changes on both sides of the creek. Furthermore, we have conducted technical
studies to devise construction designs that can enhance the efficiency of the marine docks on both banks,

said Al Hajri.

"These designs adhere to the highest global standards, ensuring the preservation of the supporting walls’
stability and safeguarding against increased flooding during seasonal weather conditions," he added.-
