The UAE's Ports, Customs and Free Zone Corporation (PCFC) has reported exceptional progress in smart traffic enforcement during the first half of 2025, recording a 401% increase in processed violations compared to Q1, with a response rate of 60.4%.
Sultan Al Malik, Director of the Security Department at the PCFC, said, “This growth was not only in numbers, but a manifestation of a comprehensive strategic vision that turned smart enforcement into a tangible reality serving all stakeholders and clients. The results of the first half of this year highlight the effectiveness of integrating smart systems with field teams, paving the way for more precise and proactive enforcement.”
Al Malik emphasised that the Security Control and Command Division reflects a corporate strategy built on advanced technology, multi-agency coordination, and predictive analysis. He explained that the Division has moved from a reactive response model to one led by proactive intelligence, becoming a regional benchmark in integrated smart enforcement.
He added, “The Security Control and Command Division serves as a pioneering model of smart enforcement, relying on advanced technologies and analytics to ensure seamless traffic flow and compliance within free zones under the Corporation’s supervision. Operating 24/7, the Division applies data-driven decision-making and sustainable management practices to uphold the highest safety, environmental, and security standards.”
In H1 2025, the Division managed 1,971 traffic-related violations, resolving 992, including cases of abandoned vehicles, illegal waste disposal, and unauthorised land use. Environmental response achieved 100% compliance within 48–72 hours, with no critical incidents reported.
Active cases stood at 651 by mid-year, categorised into container violations (287), unmarked trailers (198), and infrastructure and signage (166), each addressed through targeted measures.
For H2 2025, the Division plans a 90-day clearance campaign, a centralised dashboard for real-time monitoring, a comprehensive infrastructure audit, and the development of predictive intelligence capabilities ahead of 2026.
