Doha, Qatar: Old Doha Port strengthened its international presence as its CEO, Engineer Mohammed Abdulla Al Mulla, joined the closing roundtable of the Monaco Yacht Show Summit 2025 on Friday, September 26. 

The session, titled “How to Create a Sustainable Superyacht Destination?”, convened senior figures from leading yachting hubs to explore how destinations can future-proof their appeal while safeguarding marine ecosystems.

Set against the backdrop of the world’s foremost gathering for the superyachting and luxury maritime industries, this year’s Summit ran alongside the Monaco Yacht Show at Port Hercule from 24–27 September 2025. The programme placed innovation, design, and sustainability at the centre, spotlighting impactful eco-responsible solutions across the sector.

As part of its broader presence in the flagship maritime event, Old Doha Port also sponsored the Upper Deck Lounge for the first time, and will continue sponsoring the show for the next two years, underscoring Qatar’s growing role in shaping the future of global yachting.

Environmental safeguards are central to Old Doha Port’s redevelopment and daily operations, from utilising clean energy, solar powered light poles and tree-lined promenades that naturally lower energy use to autonomous aquatic robots and annual seabed clean-ups that mobilize divers and volunteers. These initiatives make sustainability part of daily life at the marina and ensure that Old Doha Port grows in harmony with Qatar’s marine environment while contributing to conservation efforts that protect it for future generations.
