Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani has opened the new Hamad Port as part of a wider plan to increase non-petroleum exports. • It means larger container ships can go directly to Doha rather than docking in the United Arab Emirates, where cargo used to be transferred to smaller vessels. • The UAE is one of the countries that have imposed a land, air and sea blockade on Qatar. • The port will have an annual capacity of 7.5 million shipping containers, and separate terminals dedicated to general cargo, cereal, vehicles and livestock. • It is expected to be fully operational by 2020, when it will cover around 20sq km. • The existing Doha port will then be transformed into an international cruise ship terminal. • Al Jazeera's Jamal Elshayyal reports from Hamad Port, Doha. • Subscribe to our channel: http://aje.io/AJSubscribe • Follow us on Twitter: / ajenglish • Find us on Facebook: / aljazeera • Check our website: http://www.aljazeera.com/
