1955 was the year when the creek was dredged deeper and wider since large vessels could not enter the creek. Afterwards, a 500 tonnes ship could anchor at Dubai Creek which contributed to the surge in trade around that time.
When was Khor Dubai dredged expanded?
Due to its limited depth, large vessels were not able to enter the creek. That changed in the late 1950s and early 1960s, when the creek was dredged to make it wider and deeper. Ships of up to 500 tonnes were now able to anchor there, and Dubai's trade levels soared.
When was the Dubai Creek dredged?
The creek was first dredged in 1961 to permit 7 feet (2.1 m) draft vessels to cross through the creek at all times; and dredged again in the 1960s and 1970s to offer anchorage for local and coastal shipping up to 500 tons.
