Dubai Maritime Authority, part of the Ports, Customs and Free Zone Corporation, has launched a Remote Technical Inspection Service to facilitate the renewal of licences for pleasure marine vessels up to 12 meters, pleasure watercraft, and foreign-registered visiting vessels.

This initiative, issued by CEO of the Dubai Maritime Authority, is part of the Authority’s digital transformation strategy, following directives from His Highness Sheikh to simplify government services and reduce bureaucracy. Vessel owners and operators in Dubai, will have to use the new remote service for licence renewals. The service allows customers to book inspections online, complete necessary checklists, and conduct virtual inspections with an inspector, ensuring compliance with safety and operational standards.
