The old wharf on the Ras Al Khaimah Creek has got a face-lift. The move is aimed at enhancing the safety of 1,500 fishermen working at the fishing port of the RAK city, according to the department of public works and services.
Ahmad Al Hammadi, director-general of the department, said the 20-year-old dock side close to the Abra (ferry) witnesses a flurry of activities. "It is being used by fishermen in Ras Al Khaimah and nearby ports for more than two decades. The old wharf was in a bad shape and posed a grave risk to fishermen's life. They use the dock to reach their boats and yachts for uploading and offloading their daily fish catch, apart from other necessary works."
The new bridge has been built heeding to the request of the fishermen, said Al Hammadi. "The new dock side will give a huge boost to the fishing sector in the emirate."
Khalifa Saif Al Muhairi, chairman of the RAK fishermen society, said that the 1,500 fishermen using the dock side include 500 Emirati nationals and 1,000 Asians. "Most of the users are from Ras Al Khaimah and its outskirts, as well as the fishermen from Al Muairidh, Al Jazirat Al Hamra, and Al Rams."
The RAK Municipality had removed all the fibreglass coolers, fridges and freezers of the fishermen fixed along the coast parallel to the RAK fish market based on health grounds. "The step was taken to streamline the process of freezing fish, preserve the city's image and protect the environment," an official told Khaleej Times.
"Modern fridges, coolers, and freezers will be provided to all Emirati fishermen to help them properly keep their daily catches of fish and other marine creatures in a safe and healthy way," he added.
