Reports 62% decline in marine incidents compared to the same period in 2021
Following an agreement between AD Ports Group and the Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT) in 2020, Abu Dhabi Maritime was established to govern the development of Abu Dhabi’s maritime sector, undertake the role of a regulatory authority, provide maritime services, and enhance the Emirate’s status as a global maritime capital.
One of Abu Dhabi Maritime’s primary responsibilities has been to ensure strict adherence to international safety standards and best practice operating procedures for waterway usage.
Working in close coordination with the Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT) and receiving support from local authorities, Abu Dhabi Maritime has played an integral role in disseminating essential information to the maritime community and developing robust coastal and marine infrastructure.
“By providing easy access to vital information through integrated digital solutions, waterway users became more conscious of the environment in which they operate and recognise their responsibility in contributing to the safe use of Abu Dhabi’s waterways,” commented Dr Salem Khalfan Al Kaabi, Director General of Operational Affairs, DMT.
“Abu Dhabi’s waters are safe for all users, whether commercial or personal, through the use of innovative digital solutions,” remarked Captain Saif Al Mheiri, Managing Director, Abu Dhabi Maritime.
