Qfza launches new port and marine cluster.

The new area, located right next to Hamad Port and just 20 minutes from downtown Doha, is designed to be a fully integrated marine ecosystem able to support a wide range of marine business

Qatar Free Zones Authority (QFZA) has announced the launch of a new port and marine cluster, called ‘Marsa’, at the heart of Umm Alhoul Free Zone. The new area, located right next to Hamad Port and just 20 minutes from downtown Doha, is designed to be a fully integrated marine ecosystem able to support a wide range of marine business.

Marsa has a 1.6km long, 500m wide draught and a total of 3km of quay wall, allowing it to service ships up to 70m long. Applications for real estate in the cluster are now open, and key expected activities include but are not limited to shipbuilding and repair, internal design and fit-out, boat brokerage and maritime research.

“QFZA is proud to play a role in the exciting developments happening in Qatar’s maritime industry, and we hope to continue to support the growth of this centuries-old sector,” said Fahad Zainal, chief corporate support officer, speaking at the opening of the Qatar International Boat Show in Doha.

The authority will participate in the boat show this week, where representatives from QFZA will be available to discuss opportunities at Marsa and the application process. Potential applicants can also visit QFZA’s website for more information at https://fza.gov.qa/, or contact a member of the business development team at [email protected] .

An authority that develops and oversees world-class free zones in Qatar, QFZA recently signed three memorandums of understanding (MoUs) with leading entities in China to “fuel further growth” within the free zone development and wider Qatari economy.

An MoU was signed with the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) in the presence of the leadership of the two countries among other agreements signed between the two sides.

The MoU will facilitate co-operation through information exchange mechanisms and building a business-to-business consultation platform.

Additionally, the partnership will “focus on implementing exchanges to assist business communities in better understanding relevant regulations that govern” business activities in Qatar or China.

Qatar Free Zones Authority was established last year to oversee and regulate world-class free zones in Qatar.

QFZA offers outstanding opportunities and benefits for businesses seeking to establish operations in Qatar, providing quality infrastructure, a skilled workforce, 100% foreign ownership, access to investment funds, payment exemptions and partnership opportunities with Qatari entities.

Qatar Free Zones Authority oversees the Airport Free Zones at Ras Bufontas and the Port Free Zone at Um Alhoul, strategically placed near Qatar’s world class airport and port to allow companies to take advantage of Qatar’s global connectivity.

It sure looks like Mark Zuckerberg is taking a brand new superyacht out to celebrate his 40th birthday

• It seems as if Mark Zuckerberg will celebrate his 40th birthday on the  megayacht, Launchpad .
• The yachting world has speculated for months that the Meta CEO is the owner of the vessel.
• Now, both the boat and Zuckerberg's private jet have landed in Panama.

All signs point to Mark Zuckerberg celebrating his 40th birthday on what many speculate is his brand-new superyacht Launchpad .

The boating world has been buzzing about Launchpad — a 118-meter yacht built by the Dutch shipyard Feadship — for months, with rumors swirling that her owner is none other than the Meta CEO. But in the yachting world, where privacy is paramount , no party would confirm her owner.

"It is Feadship's standard policy to never divulge any information about our yachts with reference to ownership, costs, or delivery, etc," Feadship, the ship's builder, wrote to Business Insider in March. "Whether it is an 18-meter Feadship from the 1960s or a 118-meter Feadship from the 21st century, we do not share private information."

Related stories

Representatives for Zuckerberg did not respond to requests for comment from BI.

Now there's even more evidence: The megayacht arrived in Panama on Monday, making her way there from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where she's predominantly been moored since she made her maiden voyage across the Atlantic in March, according to public ship-tracking data. Wingman, the support superyacht that he is suspected to have purchased with Launchpad, made the journey with her.

Zuckerberg's plane also landed in Panama on Monday, per a private jet tracker, and if his Instagram is any indication, he was on board.

Putting two and two together — along with the many other clues linking Zuckerberg to the yacht — we can surmise that the Meta CEO is likely kicking off his new decade aboard his new toy.

Little is known about the luxury vessel, which was said to have been built for a sanctioned Russian businessman before it was handed over to the Dutch government, which served as a middleman for the purchase. Her final purchase price is unknown, but it's safe to say a yacht of that size from that shipyard would cost nine figures upfront and six figures a year to maintain.

The few photos of Launchpad available on the industry site SuperYacht Times show there appears to be a helipad and a swimming pool on her main deck.

A vessel of her size can typically sleep dozens of guests and crewmembers and likely has an expansive gym (where Zuckerberg could practice his jiu-jitsu), a spa, a movie room, and a garage to fit plenty of toys like his viral hydrofoil .

Zuckerberg's name was first connected to Launchpad in December when reports swirled that he visited Feadship's shipyard in the Netherlands. By March, yachting blogs like eSysman SuperYachts and Autoevolution suggested he officially snagged the boat at a $300 million price tag. Launchpad also bears the flag of the Marshall Islands, a US territory that is commonplace for American buyers to register their ships.

We will never know for sure whose name is on her title, so unless Zuckerberg confirms he's Launchpad's owner, we will have to wait for an invitation to Zuck's birthday party to confirm.
