Global dry basins launch a competition to name the strongest crane in the Middle East
Dubai, July 21/ WAM/ The global dry basins, which are the Dubai’s Basic Shipback and Reform Aquarium of the Dubai Ports Group “DPDDRID”, launched a competition for the public in the emirate to naming the new new addition to its global -level engineering assets, a floating lever weighing 5,000 tons.
This lever is considered the largest of its kind in the Middle East and Africa regions and represents the latest innovative engineering creativity that confirms the commitment to excellence in marine services.
And the dry international ponds call on all citizens and residents, including engineers, students, poets and entrepreneurs, to help give this huge machine a name befitting its legacy.
A floating crane with a structure is manufactured by lower menus by Shanghai Zainahwa Heavy Industries Ltd., and it will be delivered in Dubai in the summer of 2026, but the final name must be determined before it is permanently engraved on the crane during the manufacturing process, to become part of its identity for decades to come.
This floating lever is designed to raise loads of up to 5,000 tons to a height of 120 meters above the surface of the water, and is considered a modern masterpiece in the field of marine engineering.
Upon operation, the new floating crane will enhance the capabilities of the global dry basins to implement marine projects and huge energy projects.
The international dry ponds in the port of Rashid were opened in 1979 by Banni, the renaissance of Dubai, the late Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, may God bless him, and the global dry basins had a pioneering role in the development of the United Arab Emirates as a global sea and industrial center.
For more than four decades, the global dry basins have fixed a number of the largest oil tankers in the world, and developed a floating upper infrastructure.
The new lever is not just a machine, but rather a symbol of the ambition of Dubai, its flexibility and its engineering distinction, and an exceptional declaration that we build, and we invite citizens and residents to contribute to giving this symbol a name that reflects our common values, heritage and our vision for the future.
Captain Dr. Rado Antolovich, CEO of the Global Dry Pink Company, said: For more than 40 years, the global dry basins supported the renaissance of the United Arab Emirates as a global marine center, and this new lever represents a qualitative leap in size, ability and innovation.
With a maximum lifting capacity of 5,000 tons, this giant machine can raise 400 two -storey buses or 25 wide -body aircraft, and when completed and fully stretched, it will be 180 meters high, which is equivalent to the height of the famous surface of the Burj Al Arab building, which makes it one of the strongest and most impressive cranes in the world.
The competition is open to all citizens and residents, as it calls DP and the participants to propose an attractive name in joint cultural connotations, symbolizing strength, marine heritage, innovation and the future of the United Arab Emirates.
Participants must include proposed names in Arabic or English, with a brief explanation of their meaning and source of inspiration.
A committee of experts, which includes leaders of international dry basins, Emirati cultural figures, and brand specialists, will choose the appropriate names.
As the Formula 1 championship approaches its exciting end on the Yas Marina Circuit in December, the Dubai International Ports Group provides an opportunity for one of the lucky fans to win the helmet of the McLaren Rising 2025 driver signed and in full size.
