Navigation Implications: These clearance restrictions are critical for determining vessel types and marina operational capabilities. Page 5: Maximum Vessel Heights Analysis Vessel Height Restrictions by Location: Western Section (Sanctuary Views Area): • Bridge clear heights will limit maximum vessel height to 8 metres • Restricts vessel types to smaller cruising yachts and commercial vessels • Affects design of marina infrastructure and vessel berthing arrangements Eastern Section (Ras Al Khor Extension): • Bridge clear heights will limit maximum vessel height to 15 metres • Allows larger vessel types and commercial maritime operations • Provides more flexibility for diverse vessel classifications Design Implications: The marina design must accommodate these height restrictions while optimizing operational efficiency and safety.
