The Dubai Maritime City Authority (DMCA) has concluded the Maritime Safety Awareness Campaign
The programme aimed to raise awareness of maritime safety measures on all fishing vessels and equipment.
The campaign was part of DMCA’s relentless efforts to regulate and streamline all components of the maritime cluster in the emirate.
The campaign, which took place at the Fishermen Port3 in Um Suqeim, saw a very positive turnout from 250 fishermen who came to learn the best and latest world practices which combine sustainability and safe maritime activities.
Khamis Weld Ghumail, director of Maritime Traffic Management at DMCA, pointed out the campaign was meant to enhance maritime safety in support of the emirate’s sustainable practices and to sustain Dubai’s position as a leading tourist and trade hub worldwide.
“The fishermen who participated in the campaign learnt about the best practices in fishing management following the best local and world standards in this sector. This will help us create a more competitive and safer maritime environment to support the development process in the emirate” he added.
