  • Investigation Future Planning of Railway Networks in the Arabs Gulf Countries
    M. E. M. Najar & A. Khalfan Al Rahbi, Int. J. Transp. Dev. Integr., Vol. 1, No. 4 (2017) 654–665 INVESTIGATION FUTURE PLANNING OF RAILWAY NETWORKS IN THE ARABS GULF COUNTRIES MOHAMMAD EMAD MOTIEYAN NAJAR & ALIA KHALFAN AL RAHBI Department of Civil Engineering, Middle East College, Muscat, Oman ABSTRACT Trans-border railroad in the Arabian Peninsula dates back to the early 20th century in Saudi Arabia. Over the recent decades due to increasing population and developing industrial zones, the demands are growing up over time. The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is now embarking on one of the largest modern cross-border rail networks in the world. This is an ambitious step regarding the planning and establishment of the rail network connecting all the six GCC countries. This railway network will go through at least one city in each country to link the cities of Kuwait in Kuwait, Dammam in Saudi Arabia, Manama in Bahrain, Doha in Qatar, the cities of Abu Dhabi and Al Ain in the United Arab Emirates and Sohar and then Muscat in Oman in terms of cargo and passengers. The area of investigation covers different aspects of the shared Arabian countries rail routes called ‘GCC line’ and their national rail network. The aim of this article is to study the existing future plans and policies of the GCC countries shared line and domestic railway network. This article studies the national urban (light rail transportation (LRT), metro (subways) and intercity rail transportation to appraise the potential of passenger movement and commodity transportation at present and in the future.

    Press Release Etihad Rail provides bulk transport solutions for Gulf Rock Engineering Group UAE rail network signs strategic MoU with leading crushing business Abu Dhabi, UAE, 29th April 2015: Etihad Rail, the developer and operator of the UAE’s national railway network, has been selected as the preferred means of bulk transport by Gulf Rock Engineering Group, (“Gulf Rock”) a leading rock drilling, blasting and excavation contractor in the GCC. The two companies have recently formed an agreement to transport 2.5 million tonnes of crushed sand and crushed aggregate annually for Gulf Rock. Signed by Faris Saif Al Mazrouei, CEO of Etihad Rail and Jonathan Cottam, Managing Director at Gulf Rock, the Memorandum of Understanding will allow the crushing business to improve its distribution operations by significantly reducing transport costs and timescales. Established in 1975 as a blasting specialist sub-contractor, the Gulf Rock Engineering Group owns and operates an integrated limestone crusher at Tawyeen in Fujairah from where it currently delivers its product to various customers using three axle trucks. Once commercial operations for Stage Three are launched, the railway’s freight trains will carry aggregate and sand from an Etihad Rail loading terminal in Tawyeen either directly to Gulf Rock customer locations within the UAE or to distribution terminals at the ports for export within the wider region. “The UAE’s national rail network is being built to deliver faster, more reliable, more economic and higher capacity distribution services
