EAST SETAUKET, N.Y., Jan. 25, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The November 2022 opening of the completely revamped Old Doha Port in Qatar just in time for the start of the FIFA World Cup 2022 created a wholly new tourist attraction for the emirate. PENETRON, a topically applied crystalline waterproofing material, was specified for the expansion of the Old Doha Port marina to protect all exposed concrete surfaces from the marine environment.

The comprehensive redevelopment of Doha's port took four years to transform a previous combined marina/cargo port into the Old Doha Port, a new tourist destination and marina for yachts and cruise ships. The project comprised the renovation and new construction of over 50 cafs and restaurants, >100 shops and businesses, many with marine activities and water sports, 150 hotel apartments, and a 30-room hotel.
