Facilitating marine vehicle licensing procedures in Dubai

Dubai Maritime Authority, at the Ports, Customs and Free Zone Corporation, has signed a strategic partnership agreement with Gulf Craft, to facilitate the procedures for providing marine craft registration services to customers. The agreement was signed on behalf of the Authority by Sheikh Dr. Saeed bin Ahmed bin Khalifa Al Maktoum, Executive Director of Dubai Maritime Authority, and on behalf of Gulf Craft by Abeer Mohammed Al Shaali, Deputy Managing Director.

A statement issued yesterday stated that under the agreement, the two parties will cooperate in establishing a unified window through which the procedures for registering and licensing marine vessels in the Emirate of Dubai will be carried out, in order to enhance joint work in this area, as the customer will be able to purchase the marine vessel from the sales outlets of Gulf Craft Company, and register it directly through them via the Dubai Maritime Authority’s electronic system, and within a legal framework governed by the concluded agreement.

Sheikh Saeed bin Ahmed bin Khalifa Al Maktoum said that signing the agreement with Gulf Craft contributes to achieving the government’s directives regarding facilitating procedures for customers, stressing the keenness of the Dubai Maritime Authority to work closely with partners to achieve the authority’s directives regarding regulating the licensing of marine vessels operating in Dubai.
