We are proud to announce a major milestone in the development of SABER-1, marking a significant step forward in strengthening in-country heavy marine capabilities.

Following a year of rigorous design, engineering, and verification, our floating dock SABER-1 has received a unique approval from the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) for transition towage, load-out, and float-off operations within UAE waters, with a certified capacity of 16,500 tons deadweight.

This achievement reflects the depth of our technical expertise, operational discipline, and commitment to meeting the highest international safety and engineering standards.

More importantly, it unlocks the ability to execute complex heavy-lift and semi-submersible operations locally—reducing reliance on external resources and strengthening the UAE’s position as a regional hub for advanced maritime and industrial capabilities.

It also directly supports the nation’s long-term vision to enhance in-country value, build local expertise, and drive sustainable industrial growth.
