Sheikh Ahmed tours boat show
Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Media Council toured the show, accompanied by several dignitaries. Those in attendance included Helal Saeed Al Marri, Director General of Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism and Dubai World Trade Centre Authority, and Saeed Mohammed Hareb, Secretary General of Dubai Sports Council.
During the visit, Sheikh Ahmed toured the Ports, Customs and Free Zone Corporation pavilion, where he was briefed on the Marine Craft Smart Inspection Project.

Using virtual communication between the client and inspector, key parts of the marine craft are photographed and checked for compliance with safety and security standards to ensure client safety during use.
He also visited the stands of Dubai Police and Gulfcraft to view the eagerly anticipated Majesty 111, which is being launched at the Dubai International Boat Show. In addition, Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed stopped by the Al Rayyan Marine stand.
