Maritime City Authority

Dubai Maritime City Authority was established pursuant to Dubai Law No. (11) of 2007 by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum, the Vice-President and Prime Minister of United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai, as a major step to establish a world-class maritime authority in Dubai. This was followed by Dubai Law No. (11) of 2010 by His Highness mandating Dubai Maritime City Authority to regulate the Dubai maritime sector and outlining the scope and authorities for the registering and licensing of all types of vessel operating in Dubai. Dubai Maritime City Authority will gradually and steadily play a major and leading role in regulating and addressing all maritime-related activities, challenges and business needs for both the local and global maritime audiences alike. These laws task Dubai Maritime City Authority to enhance Dubai’s position in the maritime industry and oversee the development of maritime sectors such as maritime services, maritime management, licensing of vessels, chartering of vessels, maritime and educational research, design and building of vessels, maritime shipment organization, maritime exhibition, conferences, training and workshops, maritime tourism and maritime specialized arbitration.
