Marine Engineering

Khatib & Alami’s marine engineering practice delivers resilient coastal and marine infrastructure across ports, harbors, marinas, offshore platforms, and shoreline protection systems. Our projects respond to site-specific wave climate, currents, storms, sediment movement, and rising sea levels, engineering performance, durability, and maintainability from the outset.

We support clients’ ambitions for growth and connectivity while addressing environmental, social, and climate drivers. With a proven track record across the Middle East, North Africa, East Africa, and the Eastern Mediterranean, we design and rehabilitate ports that meet regional demands and international standards.

Marine Engineering for Ports and Harbors

Structural Innovation for Jeddah Stadium, KSA

We support port and harbor developments through feasibility studies, bathymetric surveys, geotechnical investigations, and detailed engineering design. Our expertise covers marine structures and coastal infrastructure developed in response to site conditions, operational requirements, and long-term performance objectives.

Port Infrastructure Design

Our services include the design of quay walls, jetties, breakwaters, dredging works, and land reclamation. Using hydrodynamic and morphodynamic modeling, we assess coastal processes, structural behavior, and shoreline stability to deliver technically sound and buildable solutions tailored to each site.

Marina Planning and Coastal Development

Our portfolio includes the planning and design of marinas and waterfront developments. We integrate berthing layouts with shoreline protection strategies, considering tidal variation, wave climate, sediment transport, and navigational access to deliver safe, functional, and context-responsive coastal environments.

Marine Engineering Delivery and Coastal Performance

From feasibility through detailed design, project management, and marine construction supervision, we provide continuity across all project stages. Our teams prioritize constructability and practical execution to support safe, coordinated, and reliable delivery.

Project Delivery and Construction Supervision

We support marine projects during implementation through structured coordination, site oversight, and engineering review. This ensures that design intent is maintained and that construction progresses in line with technical and operational requirements.

Coastal Dynamics and Structural Analysis

Every marine project is shaped by local environmental forces. We apply hydrodynamic and morphodynamic modeling to assess wave loading, sediment transport, shoreline stability, and breakwater performance. Our dredging and reclamation strategies balance technical feasibility, budget considerations, and long-term effectiveness.
