  • United Arab Emirates: Thursday, October 25 - 2012 at 03:43

The UAE National Transport Authority has introduced new safety measures for all UAE commercial ships in a bid to protect against piracy, Gulf News has reported. Commercial ships registered under the National Transport Authority (NTA) and carrying over 300 tonnes of cargo and bearing a UAE flag will now have to be outfitted with tracking devices, and provide protection onboard in regional and international waters. "The new system will be installed on the remaining ships, which are more than 850. The new system will allow the ships to be constantly monitored," said Salem Al Za'abi, acting director general of NTA.
