About Drydocks World
Drydocks World is one of the largest shipyards in the Middle East, located in Dubai. Its dry docks have operated since 1983 and are among the largest in the world, able to handle very large vessels such as oil tankers.
The shipyard's core business is ship repair and maintenance. Ships come to Dubai for scheduled maintenance, repairs and upgrades, such as installing equipment to meet new environmental regulations.
Conversion projects are another strength, turning vessels into different types of ships, such as converting tankers into floating production, storage and offloading units (FPSOs) for the offshore oil and gas industry.
The yard also fabricates offshore structures, such as platforms and modules, and builds specialised vessels.
Drydocks World is part of the DP World group, connecting it with one of the world's largest port operators.
Dubai's location on major shipping routes between Asia, Europe and Africa makes it a convenient stop for ship repairs.
