UAE: No change in procedures at ports with Qatar

The UAE Federal Transport Authority Land and Maritime has stressed in a circular that there is no change in its policy regarding access to Qatar at UAE ports and border crossings. The circular is one of the periodic ones issued from time to time in line with official decisions.

The Authority clarified that the news reports regarding export and import to and from Qatar are inaccurate and misconstrued.

The Authority also pointed out that it is responsible for regulating the land and maritime transport sector in the UAE. Any regulatory procedures in this connection are under its jurisdiction. Any information in this regard are issued only by the Authority and none else.

Qatari-flagged and owned vessels are still prohibited from docking in Abu Dhabi, the UAE.’s capital. Vessels from the UAE “aren’t allowed to call on Qatari ports,” according to the Abu Dhabi Ports statement.
