Dubai: The Dubai Maritime City Authority on Tuesday said that the emirate had witnessed a 31 per cent growth in the registration of new maritime businesses in 2008 compared to 2007, reflecting huge demand for maritime and boat-building services.

"The increase of 31 per cent is a clear indication of the growing importance of the maritime sector within Dubai and the region," said Amer Ali, the chief executive of Dubai Maritime City.

In mid-last year, the authority launched its Raseina service, a one-stop-shop for all maritime transactions. Through the service, Dubai Maritime City Authority provides a centralised point of access for all maritime activities in the emirate, after taking over the responsibility in mid-2008.

The service facilitates various transactions including registration of trade name, issuance, renewal and amendment of licences.


The authority earlier took over all legal responsibilities of approximately 4,500 companies registered previously with Department of Economic Development (DED) when the new service was launched.
