It also plays a crucial role in the maintenance of commercial and tourism ports, contributing to safer and more efficient maritime traffic for all types of vessels in Qatari waters.
The introduction of these two boats underscores MOT's commitment to safeguarding the Qatari marine environment and enhancing maritime navigation safety and security. This aligns with the objectives of Qatar's national plan to combat oil pollution and complies with relevant regional and international conventions.
