The Ports, Customs, and Free Zone Corporation (PCFC) has unveiled the ‘Dubai Code for Ports,’ the world’s first comprehensive technical guide designed to streamline the development and management of ports, marinas, and maritime activities. This innovative project sets a new global benchmark in the maritime infrastructure sector.

His Excellency Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Chairman of PCFC, highlighted that the initiative represents a pivotal step in boosting the efficiency of maritime operations while prioritizing sustainability and environmental conservation.

“This project aligns with the Dubai Economic Agenda D33, aiming to reinforce Dubai’s position as a global maritime leader,”
