Abu Dhabi: The concept design of Abu Dhabi’s planned permanent cruise passenger terminal is to be unveiled later this month at Europe’s most prestigious cruise event, Seatrade Med 2014, which will from September 16-18 in Barcelona, Spain.
The model is being showcased by Abu Dhabi Ports Company (ADPC) following an international design competition and extensive industry stakeholder input. An important element of the competition was the commitment to hire two leading Emirati architectural graduates, to join the project team for the development of the architectural design.
ADPC will be at Seatrade Med with an Abu Dhabi Tourism and Culture Authority (TCA Abu Dhabi) delegation in the emirate’s first dedicated ‘Cruise Abu Dhabi’ international promotion. The Abu Dhabi contingent will meet leading cruise operators and press the emirate’s case as an alternative and preferred winter cruise destination.
