Maritime & Ship Services in the UAE for Indians

Why Fujairah

On the ground, businesses that benefit most from Fujairah mainland licensing include maritime services, oil storage, trading, tourism and fishing, because they serve customers on site across the emirate. Government and semi-government tenders in Fujairah require a mainland licence and Chamber of Commerce membership, both of which GoldenKey arranges.
