Dubai Maritime Authority
1 articleDubai Maritime Authority is the Dubai regulator for the maritime sector, operating within the PCFC framework. Its functions include marine-craft registration, vessel and activity licensing, maritime safety requirements, inspections and regulation of business activity in Dubai’s coastal and marine environment.
Boat owners, marine operators and waterfront businesses use the authority for the approvals and compliance processes attached to maritime activity. The focus is regulatory: it is different from RTA’s passenger marine transport services and from port operators that manage cargo terminals.
