Saudi Arabia has presented the designs of Oxagon’s port and logistics center that will be “the World’s largest floating structure” once completed.
Oxagon project has one part on land and a greater part extends to Red Sea with a distinct octagon shape. Neom’s developers claim that the city’s floating part will be “world’s largest hovering structure”. Oxagon will be built as a port city at Red Sea to make use of Suez Canal seatrade.
