Sunreef Yachts builder has shared images of its new waterfront production facility in Ras Al Khaimah, the northernmost emirate of the UAE. The facility is still being developed and is based on a 65,000sqm (6.5 hectare) land site.
Now in an early stage of operation, the facility currently employs 120 people and is initially focused on the production of Sunreef’s new Ultima range of hybrid catamarans (click for article).
The RAK facility features state-of-the-art machinery including the latest robotics and will be fully operational in September, according to Sunreef. The new shipyard works closely with the company’s new Dubai office (click for article), which was officially inaugurated during this year’s Dubai International Boat Show in March.
The Polish catamaran builder already has two production facilities in Gdansk on Poland’s north coast, where its original facility in the historic Gdansk Shipyard is complemented by a new, larger facility in Tarcice further east along the Martwa Wisla river.
Together, the two Gdansk shipyards employ 2,400 people and cover 125,000sqm of land. The sites offer a fully equipped infrastructure for in-house yacht manufacturing including offices, an R&D lab, production halls, CNC hall, mast workshop, launching pool, ultramodern paint shop, and workshops for upholstery and carpentry.
