What does Mina Rashid in Dubai handle?

Mina Rashid, operated by DP World, works break bulk, containerised cargo, dry bulk, ro-ro and cruise: a 15-berth cargo & ro-ro terminal with 2,757 m of quay at 10.5 m, and a 5-berth coastal terminal.[1]

—The cruise operation is world-scale: up to seven mega-cruise vessels and 27,000 passengers simultaneously, around a million passengers a year, with homeporting support that includes provisioning, bunkering, storage and lay-up services.[1]

—Repairs sit next door: Drydocks World’s ~200 ha yard with four docks up to 521 × 100 m (VLCC/ULCC-capable) and 3,700+ m of berthing, expanded again in December 2024; Dubai Maritime City adds ship-lift and wet & dry berthing plots between the port and the yard.[3,4,5]

What do Mina Rashid’s tariff rules say on pilotage, notice and supply calls?

—Pilotage is compulsory for vessels navigating into, out of or within the port (small craft excepted); tug use is at the Harbour Master’s discretion.[2]

—48 hours’ notice of arrival to the port operator, reconfirmed by the agent 24 hours out; the master calls the Port Signal Station on VHF Ch 16; pre-arrival documents go in electronically at least 8 hours before arrival.[2]

—Supplies-only calls are recognised in the tariff: vessels calling only for water, bunkers, supplies, crew changes or orders pay reduced dues (capped at seven days).[2]

—Anchoring in Dubai waters requires Dubai Maritime Authority approval, applied for via the agent or master.[6]

What must a vessel calling at Mina Rashid arrange?

—A local agent — mandatory: the tariff requires every vessel calling the port to appoint a locally registered shipping agent.[2]

—Fresh water is purchased via the port operator’s nominated suppliers; garbage collection is provided by the port authority and its use is compulsory.[2]

—Chandlers and repairers must be port-registered — which is exactly the verified-supplier discipline this platform runs. Post a requirement — provisions, stores, cruise-scale or single-vessel — and suppliers serving Dubai answer with sealed bids. Suppliers: activate Dubai.[2]
