The expansion will add another 10 hectares (0.10 km2) of storage space and increase the quay length by Lua error in Module:Convert at line 272: attempt to index local 'cat' (a nil value)..[3] After the expansion the terminal will be capable of handling around 1,700,000 TEUs.[4] The terminal is owned by the Dubai based company Dubai Ports World.[3][5]
