RAS AL KHAIMAH — Shaikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi, Crown Prince and Deputy Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah, commissioned the four newly constructed berths and other infrastructure upgradation projects implemented at the Saqr Port in Ras Al Khaimah.

Shaikh Saud also opened the new office of RAK Customs and Ports Department at the Saqr Port and commissioned a hi-tech container scanning system set up at the port.

The four newly constructed berths have a total length of 795 metres and would increase the cargo handling capacity of Saqr Port substantially.
