Abu Dhabi Maritime to provide jet ski licencing services
ABU DHABI, December 22, 2021
Abu Dhabi Maritime, the primary custodian of the UAE capital’s waterways and marine ecosystems, has revealed it will now provide jet ski licencing services within the emirate.
Assuming the role previously held by the police department, Abu Dhabi Maritime will assist members of the public and commercial marine service providers with the registration of new jet skis, annual licence renewals, and booking technical inspections.
As an added offering, the organisation’s inspection teams will also be able to conduct technical examinations of a user’s jet ski at a location selected by them, including from the comfort of their own home, a statement from the organisation said.
Accessible via its website and from a dedicated web portal, the process will not only make licencing services more efficient and less time consuming, but it will also enhance maritime safety and security across Abu Dhabi’s waterways by ensuring all jet skis are well-maintained and seaworthy.
AD Ports Group, Abu Dhabi Maritime Managing Director Capt. Saif Al Mheiri said: “As the primary custodian overseeing the management, regulation and safe use of Abu Dhabi’s waterways, it is only natural that the responsibility of handling jet ski licencing falls under our remit.
“In addition to demonstrating our readiness to respond to the needs of Abu Dhabi’s maritime community, we are also keen to elevate our community’s overall user experience and streamline the process by which jet ski licencing is managed in order to be faster and more efficient.
"It is our strong belief that the provision of a fully integrated digital service will best facilitate all maritime activity within the emirate, and prepare us for a digitally-powered future in line with best global practices while simultaneously ensuring continued safety of all vessels navigating our waterways.”
The website will provide a holistic solution that caters to the needs of local community members and corporate businesses operating within Abu Dhabi’s marine ecosystem.-TradeArabia News Service
