The Everlasting Consultant to the
International Maritime Group, His Excellency Mohammed Khamis Al Kaabi, and
Captain Saif Al Muhairi, Director General of Abu Dhabi Maritime, were part of
the UAE delegation that took part in the event held in parallel to World
Maritime Day and hosted by the South African government in Durban under the
theme "New Technologies for Environmentally Friendly Transport."
The delegation also participated in
a high-level ministerial dialogue meeting to discuss important issues, including
strengthening capability building, the technical cooperation programme of the
International Maritime Group, and important challenges and opportunities for
global commerce.
Following a two-year suspension of
the parallel event due to the pandemic, we welcome right here in Durban all IMO
member nations to attend the event parallel to World Maritime Day 2022, said
Kitak Lim, Secretary-Normal of the Worldwide Maritime Group, in his opening
remarks.
It was founded to ensure that the
global marine industry moves in the best direction, and this event is
unquestionably one of the most important maritime conferences and events on the
globe.
The evolution of the gas and power
combine within the marine company, he continued, depends on innovation. This
calls for new technologies, various and renewable fuels, a complex
infrastructure to support low- or zero-carbon freight, as well as new financial
choices to support operational strategies.
Additionally, we need to create
collaborative innovation teams through effective research and development
partnerships between the private and public sectors.
"We're here here right now to
design a method of capacity building, technology, and infrastructure to involve
developing nations in the energy transition, particularly the least developed
nations and small island developing states.
One of the many technologies that
can aid in the transition to a greener, more efficient, and more humane
transportation sector, according to him, is digitization and automation.
environment, but this doesn't mean we should disregard the value of focusing on
the human side.
His Excellency Mohammed Khamis Al
Kaabi, Permanent Consultant of the UAE to the International Maritime Group,
commented on the role of the UAE in developing the global maritime industry,
saying, "The UAE is without a doubt one of the most influential nations in
developing the maritime business, dedicating its main place among the many most
important maritime facilities on the planet.
The country plays a crucial role in
addressing regional and global marine needs through its membership in the IMO
Council.
The Worldwide Maritime Group will
strengthen its position in supporting the protection, safety, and effectiveness
of maritime transport in clear oceans by continuing to engage with various
member states, he continued.
In this regard, the UAE has played a
proactive role in implementing minor changes to a number of decisions that
support the development and improvement of processes. Maintaining a pace with
technology advancements and global changes, especially as they relate to
emerging forms of transportation.
"The parallel event to this
year's World Maritime Day confirms the need for the dedication of all
participating nations to unify their efforts in an effort to take efficient
measures concerning the decarbonization of transport and port operations, using
zero or low carbon technologies, and adopting using different fuels in the
primary infrastructure of the marine sector; The sector generates 2-3% of
global carbon dioxide emissions," Al Kaabi continued.
In order to achieve the IMO's goal
of 2050, he stated that new gas technologies and infrastructure must be able to
meet the needs of the large-scale transportation industry by 2030, which may
necessitate crucial cooperation with power companies, ports, transport
companies, and cargo owners.
The counterpart event to World Maritime Day is
an opportunity for the global community to make concrete contributions to
collaborate in developing cutting-edge methods intended to address the impact
of transportation on sustainability and local climate change
