News – June 24, 2008
Following the announcement of the Abu Dhabi Yacht Show 2009, plans have been approved for a marina that will be home to the show’s on-water exhibits.
Dredging has commenced in preparation for the creation of the megayacht pontoon area, which will be completed in line with the show’s opening in March 2009.
The show’s complex will include land-based booths within the luxurious Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC), overlooking the yachts on display in the pontoon area.
Scheduled for construction from July, plans have been accepted for a bridge to link the two main areas of the show for quick and easy access.
The bridge and marina will be constructed by Halcrow, the master developer for the entire ADNEC project.
Both will be completed by February 10th 2009.
