Maritime & Ship Services in the UAE for Saudi nationals

Why Fujairah

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. Among the strengths of a Fujairah mainland licence are direct Indian Ocean port access and World-class bunkering hub, which is why local service businesses gravitate here.
