The event will celebrate the recent achievements of the emirate’s maritime sector and provide support to various government as well as non-government entities involved in the local industry.
H.E. Sultan bin Sulayem, Chairman of Dubai Ports, Customs and Free Zone Corporation and President of DMCA, said ‘Dubai Maritime Day’ will help develop the sector’s various components and further drive excellence, creativity, and innovation. The event will also maximize promising opportunities to accelerate Dubai’s transformation into becoming one of the world’s most advanced maritime hubs.

The event’s objectives can be achieved by strengthening our strategic partnerships with the public and private sectors in recognition of their continuous contributions to Dubai’s overall socio-economic progress.”
‘Dubai Maritime Day’ will feature a host of events focusing on the sector’s various aspects and the emirate’s accomplishments over the past years.
