Abu Dhabi Ship Building (ADSB) is a shipbuilding company established in 1996 in the United Arab Emirates.[2] It specializes in the construction, repair, and refit of naval and commercial vessels. ADSB serves as a key defense asset for the UAE, providing a range of services including the building and maintenance of various types of ships and marine components.[3]
History
[edit]Established in 1995, Abu Dhabi Ship Building was formed as a joint venture between the Government of Abu Dhabi and Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS).[4] Emiri Decree No. 5 of 1995 officially mandated ADSB to develop an industrial base for constructing a wide range of vessels, marine components, and equipment, in addition to conducting maintenance and repair operations.[5] The company has since grown significantly, solidifying its position as a key player in the naval defense sector and a vital asset for the UAE.[6][7]
Operations
[edit]ADSB constructs and maintains naval and commercial vessels at its shipyard in Abu Dhabi's Mussafah Industrial Zone, spanning over 300,000 square meters.[6] Its portfolio includes frigates, offshore patrol vessels, and fast patrol vessels. It also provides associated maintenance, repair, and engineering services.[8]
