Abu Dhabi Ship Building (ADSB) in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2006, has unveiled plans for a major expansion and has provided Warship Technology with an in-depth look at its new composites facilities and a review of its current military workload. ADSB's world class facility at Mussafah, Abu Dhabi has been through two major expansion programmes in the last four years which have increased the available dry-docking space and fabrication throughout as well as adding a new high tech facility for building advanced composite vessels. ADSB has now established itself as the only experienced warship builder in the Arabian Gulf and has increased its capacity to cater not only for the expanding UAE naval fleet but also the fleets of the other GCC nations and the shipyard is reaching full capacity on naval contracts alone.
