The electric abra also aligns with RTA’s environmental sustainability strategy for maritime transport, aiming to reduce Dubai’s carbon footprint.. It includes the longest monocoque structure created using 3D printing technology, measuring 36 feet in length and 10.1 feet in width. Mattar Al Tayer, RTA Director General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors, announced that the abra would begin trial operations at the Sheikh Zayed Road Marine Transport Station on the TR6 line. “During this phase, we will monitor the abra’s performance and compare it with our current 20-passenger fiberglass abras,” Al Tayer stated.While the electric abra represents the future of Dubai’s water transport, RTA is also focusing on enhancing existing infrastructure.
The comprehensive improvement works include replacing floating docks to ensure passenger safety, providing retail spaces for enhanced customer services, and adding facilities for employees and operators. Bike racks will be installed to promote transport integration.
