Continuing efforts aimed towards enhancing maritime safety and awareness
Dubai Maritime City Authority (DMCA) recently announced the successful completion of maritime traffic inspections conducted across the regional waters of the emirate during the first six months of this year (H1-2019) indicating a strong push in the move to enhance maritime regulatory processes and operational procedures.
The DMCA’s Maritime Inspections Department has reported conducting extensive inspections during this period as well as a series of maritime safety campaigns aimed at enhancing the integration of maritime safety, safe navigation and efficiency operating along the waters of Dubai.
“The expansion of maritime traffic inspections within the local regional waters during the first half of this year confirms our keenness to manage maritime operations according to the highest standards of occupational safety and environmental practices and local and international decisions,” noted Abdullah Bin Touk, Director–Marine Inspection, DMCA.
DMCA has also launched a new Smart Portal to provide integrated and adoptive services and smart turnaround, including the scheduling of inspections, tracking the status of required services and notifications about updates and announcements where customers can receive email and SMS notifications as well as a verification checklist.
