8. How it all began?
The Dubai Jebel Ali Free Zone
Dream Team
8

9. They all said – IMPOSSIBLE!!!
When the late Ruler of Dubai – His Highness Sheikh Rashid Al Maktoum
Vice President of the UAE suggested the construction of the
World’s Largest Manmade Port – Jebel Ali, everyone thought that this was going to end up as a
White Elephant Project especially as Dubai already had a perfectly good Port – Port Rashid.
Regardless the construction of the Jebel Ali Port & supporting Free Zone went ahead at a cost in
excess of USD $2.5 Billion. A Management Team was put together and the Port was launched followed by the
Free Zone in 1985. Those early days were a struggle as we had lots of opposition and when
His Highness – Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid took over after his father passed away things began to move quickly.
Selling a 67 Berth Deep Water Port – and a place where you didn’t need a local sponsor was unheard of
In the Middle East – including NO TAX – Whatsoever.
Well as they say THE REST IS HISTORY
Today the Economy of Dubai survives because of the decision made by the Late
Sheikh Rashid Al Maktoum – A True Visionary

Business Resort Free Zone
See * www.tinapa.com.ng
To offset the massive outflow of Daily Hard Currency
Leaving Nigeria everyday – Estimated to be USD $5 Million
The former President agreed to provide a Business
Free Zone Resort that could compete with Middle East
Duty Free Pricing.
The Tinapa Business Resort was conceived and constructed
At a cost in excess of USD $480 Million.
Due to Government changes and lack of commitment the
Tax Free Incentives were greatly diluted resulting in the
Project running into difficulties.
The Project has now been taken over by AMCON who are
Working out ways to re‐establish the original
Tax Free Concept.
DSI Ltd provided Consultancy Services to both the State
And Federal Government – Ongoing.

15. ADEN FREE ZONE
YEMEN
Under the auspices of the Yemen
Prime Ministers office and an EU Aid

on ground in ADEN assisting the
Yemen Free Zones Authority and
inputting Yemen Ports Authority to
establish a Commercial FTZ at the
Gateway and Cross roads between
Arabia and Africa where passing Trade
exceeds over 1 Billion freight tons per
year.
The EU Funded the Aden FTZ
Programme for a two year period 2002
thru 2004. Tony Restall was Chief of
Party interfacing between all the
Government agencies and Ministries in
Yemen.
During this period PSA pulled out of

27

28. What Governments Think?
• Over the years we have been invited to many
countries to make presentations and
submissions regarding Free Zone
Development.
• The questions we are asked are always the
same
• “Why should we give away Taxation
Opportunities to attract FDI?”
28

29. What Governments Think?
• Everyone wants a Free Zone like Dubai/UAE
• But they are scared to make that commitment
• “We are losing out ‐ By giving something away”
• You can’t lose what you don’t have or never will
have!!
• What you think you are losing will add to the
multiplier effect into your economy
• A PROVEN Economic Model That WORKS!!
29

30. What Governments Think?
• Many Free Zones are simply set up to FAIL
• Over regulation scares investors away
• Benchmarking Study will show you how you
compare
• SEZ – Special Economic Zones are Free Zones
with Taxation and time limits on Business
Freedoms
30

31. What Governments Think?
“But Dubai is a Rich Oil State”
• We have Limited or very low resources
• A FTZ can be Started with little or No Investment
• Minimum Government Commitment – 2L
• Legislation – Forming the Free Zone Law
• Land – Allocated on Long Term Lease to the FTZ Project FOC
– Free of Charge
• Ajman FTZ Started with little or No Investment (but now
hosts over 8,000 Investors)
• Ras Al Khaimah has 2 Free Zones now hosting over 17,000
Free Zone Investor Companies
31

32. The Reality!!!

Funding – Such as the Ajman Free Zone which
now hosts over 8,000 Investors

if you utilise our Model & Template we can
assure success
