Dubai on Tuesday launched the Marine Assistant service that will provide government departments with marine crafts in the waters of the emirate. 

Sheikh Saeed bin Ahmed bin Khalifa Al Maktoum, Executive Director of  Dubai Maritime City Authority (DMCA), said that the purpose of Marine Assistant service was to develop a system that enhances the efficiency and competitiveness of Dubai’s maritime sector.

The service aims to establish a unified civilian entity affiliated with the DMCA, Dubai Municipality and Dubai International Marine Club. 

The entity will initially offer 10 boats and provide field and logistical services to enable government entities to perform their missions in Dubai waters. These missions may include inspections, marine surveys and other field operations.

“The Marine Assistant service provides its services to all government departments to enhance levels of coordination between these authorities,” Sheikh Saeed bin Ahmed said. “The requesting entity can address the Authority directly to use the marine crafts for executing and performing tasks that require their presence in the waters of the Emirate of Dubai at any time.”

Sheikh Saeed explained that the Marine Assistant service is aimed at enforcing laws, decisions and regulations and maintaining discipline in the waters of Dubai. He pointed out that the DMCA would assume the responsibility of coordinating and supervising the provision of marine crafts when needed.
