Sharjah – Maritime Connections Across Two Coasts

Sharjah has a distinctive maritime position, with port and marine activity on both the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman. Port Khalid serves the city waterfront, Hamriyah supports industrial marine activity and fabrication, and Khorfakkan provides direct access to major Indian Ocean shipping routes. The emirate is particularly strong in ship repair, boat building, chandlery, logistics, offshore support and commercial marine services. Leisure boating is smaller than in neighbouring Dubai but remains connected to marinas and coastal destinations across the emirate. For operators and marine buyers, Sharjah offers a concentrated network of practical suppliers and technical expertise close to major ports and free-zone facilities.
