Title: An Arabian adventure
First published: 1995
Description: The Arabian Dry Dock was conceived as a prestige project to unite the oil-producing countries in the Arabian Gulf and to fill a gap in the provision of ship-repair services where they were actually needed. This is the fascinating story of Gifford S. Rossi's dream and determination to build the Arabian Dry Dock, and of how, despite countless setbacks and in the face of great scepticism, that dream was triumphantly achieved.
