Capt. Saif Al Mheiri, Managing Director, Abu Dhabi Maritime, said, “Abu Dhabi supports a thriving maritime community and is today one of the region’s prime destinations for aquatic tourism and sports. By leveraging Abu Dhabi Maritime’s fully integrated digital licensing services, water sports enthusiasts can navigate the emirate’s waters in confidence knowing that their equipment meets the highest safety and security standards.
