UAE Company Incorporations on the Way Up with Application for Membership in International Maritime Organization Executive Council
July, 2017
The UAE has applied to be nominated for membership of the Executive Council of the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
As reported by Hellenic Shipping News, the United Arab Emirates is preparing for second category membership (category B) together with 11 countries that are leaders in international sea trade.
The UAE already holds a top ranking for ports management and is ranked in the top three countries for the quality of its ports and sixth in port infrastructure. If the UAE succeeds with membership of the IMO’s Executive Council, it will strongly enhance the UAE’s position in the global maritime sector.
This will lead to a boost of interest in UAE company incorporations from leading maritime companies and investors in the maritime community as well as marine-related businesses such as importers, exporters, ship repairing and ship refueling.
UAE company incorporations will increase, especially in free zones like Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA), Dubai Maritime City (DMC) and Khalifa Industrial Zone Abu Dhabi (KIZAD) that focus on the maritime sector and offer the well-known free zone benefits.
