Qatar Resumes Maritime Navigation After Precautionary Suspension
DOHA, July 5 (Bernama-Xinhua) -- Qatar's Ministry of Transport on Sunday announced the full resumption of maritime navigation for all types of marine vessels, effective immediately, reported Xinhua.
In a statement, the ministry urged all vessel owners and operators to comply with applicable regulations and instructions, and to ensure that all required equipment is available to guarantee the highest levels of safety and security during voyages.
The resumption follows the ministry's decision on Monday to temporarily suspend maritime navigation and marine activities for all vessel types as a precautionary measure to safeguard public safety.
The suspension was announced one day after Qatar's Interior Ministry said a Qatari citizen had been found dead and an Arab resident injured after a missing vessel was located during overnight search and rescue operations.
According to the ministry, the vessel was found in the early hours of June 28. The Qatari citizen died after being struck by shrapnel from military operations in the region, while the injured person was transferred to hospital and is reported to be in stable condition.
