Employees and officials of the Dubai Maritime City Authority, the government authority charged with regulating, coordinating and supervising all aspects of Dubai’s maritime sector, headed by Amer Ali, the Executive Director of DMCA, went on a sea tour onboard water taxis in coordination with Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA). This initiative falls within the Authority’s framework of supporting public and private marine transportation as one of the most important components of the local maritime sector, where water taxi is considered as one of the most distinctive features of Dubai’s maritime mass transport sector.

Amer Ali explained that the tour comes as a call to encourage the use of Dubai’s public marine transportation, developed successfully by the RTA according to the highest standards of safety and security to ensure safe and easy movement of marine transport for everyone. He pointed out that DMCA is committed to supporting efforts to develop marine transport in the emirate in line with the ongoing preparations to host the World Expo 2020. He also emphasized the need for renovation and improvement of transport networks as well as the means of transport, including transportation methods, in order to accommodate the huge number of visitors and exhibitors participating in the global events. The international exhibition will be a platform to strengthen cultural interaction and economic cooperation between the people of the world.
