The move is the first integrated control 24/7 system in the world
The new system is based on a number of sophisticated AI technologies, rapid intervention teams that work around the clock, drones, and the K9 sniffing dog unit.
The initiative will enhance Dubai and the UAE’s security and help protect the society from the hazards of illegitimate shipments while facilitating trade and supporting the global supply chain.
The Siyaj initiative features integrated unites such as the advanced technological unit system and the highly qualified skilled team unit. All is based on a deep learning central data base that is regularly fed with updated information.
The rapid intervention teams are available seven days a week and coordinate with the intelligence department to take action when there is a report of any suspicious goods.
“Dubai Customs plays a vital role in thwarting smuggling of drugs and other illegitimate goods. In this regard, we cooperate and coordinate with the relevant authorities worldwide to intercept any suspicious or hazardous shipments before they enter the country,” affirmed Ahmed Mahboob Musabih, Director General, Dubai Customs.
“All intelligence information will be analysed carefully to intercept suspicious shipments and thwart these smuggling illegitimate operations. This will also help streamline the international trade and supply chain,” noted Abdullah Busnad, Executive Director, Customs Inspection Division, Dubai Customs.
