Another Project Taking Shape

31 March 2023

Dear colleagues, the project’s official resources report on talks with another VIP. At the meeting with His Highness Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi, UAE Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah, the Founder and General Designer of string transport proposed several options for the practical implementation of the technology for the emirate.

For development of tourism, a variant of line along the “Al Saqr station – Bab Al Bahr – Al Marjan Boulevard – Al Hoor Avenue – Marsa Station – Al Hamra Mall – Al Hamra Village" route with a length of 11 km was proposed. 20 uBuses will be sufficient to serve this route, each with 16-passenger capacity and an average speed of 88 kph.

The specified route will help promote tourism in Ras Al Khaimah by providing visitors with a convenient, economical and reliable means of transportation. This will attract more tourists to the city, as well as boost the local economy and create new jobs.

For the economic development of Ras Al Khaimah, a route option connecting Saqr Port with Al Nakheel was proposed. This option places 11 stations on a 23 km long cargo-passenger route. This route will facilitate Ras Al Khaimah's economic advance by attracting new businesses and investment, creating jobs, and boosting the local economy. This line will simplify traveling around the city for the people, reduce traffic congestion and travel time. It will benefit both residents and visitors of Ras Al Khaimah making it a more attractive place to live and do business.

For the strategic advance of Ras Al Khaimah, a route option was proposed to connect Mina Al Arab and Wadi Naqab Hiking Starting Point via Zayed Centre Station and Al Kharan Round. This double-track route will be 30 km long.

For the same end the option of connecting Saqr Port with Etihad Rail has been proposed as well. Freight and passenger rolling stock will run along this 84 km long passenger-and-freight route.

We all at RSW Systems are confident that building the proposed string transport and infrastructure complexes in Ras Al Khaimah will have positive effect on development of the entire region!
