This sector is a hub for ship repair facilities, yacht charter, yacht repair and manufacturing, as well as workshop units. The precinct will be overseen by the management of Jadaf Dubai. A 1,270-meter stretch of wet berthing has been made available in this precinct, alongside 42 dry berths of various sizes. The large number of berthing spaces available here alleviates a space crunch for boats in Dubai. The area contains 19 ship repair plots and two ship lifts capable of lifting 3,000 and 6,000 tons each. More than 100 workshops and warehouses complete the industrial precinct.

Dubai Maritime City Campus

The Dubai Maritime City Campus is located in the middle of Dubai Maritime City. The institutions here offers a syllabus encompassing marine engineering, marine transportation, and naval science, among others. The academy has the capabilities to provide for 1,300 students. The area also contains many other buildings such as a mosque, 500-room business hotel, seafarers club, convention center, and two-story library.
