ميناء جبل علي و التجارة البحرية الدولية خلال الفترة (1979-1996 م)‎

Abstract EN

In this research, we will deal with the history of navigation in the Emirate of Dubai, and its impact on international navigation during the period (1979-1996), with a special focus on the free zone of Jebel Ali port as an example.

Accordingly, we will try to answer some fundamental questions, including the following: what are the main features of Jebel Ali port? What strategy, privileges and incentives does the port provide to attract international corporations and companies? And, what are the fields of work and the various economic activities in the free zones? To correctly answer these questions, we will address the issue of the emergence and development of commercial maritime navigation for the Arab Gulf countries before 1969.

We will study the following subjects in depth: the emergence and development of Gulf commercial navigation (UAE Ports as a model) as well as the emergence and development of Jebel Ali Free Zone in Dubai.

We will also study the development of trade in Jebel Ali Port and its impact on international trade, in addition to examining the implications of this economic zone and its impact on the growing commercial engagement of the United Arab Emirates in international trade.
