Design of a new fishery harbour in Masirah Island, Oman
The Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries of the Sultanate of Oman (MOAF) financed the design and construction of a new multipurpose harbour on the island of Masirah in the Arabian Sea. The port aims to provide modern berths sheltered from seasonal monsoon waves and occasional destructive tropical cyclones for a large varied fishery fleet, catamarans and landing craft ferries, ROP (Royal Oman Police) patrol vessels and yachts in order to consolidate and increase the local economy and security. The project should account for future expansion due to increased traffic and fishing activities.
