Maritime Projects Department, Marine Agency, Roads and Transport Authority, Dubai, UAE The mission of the Marine Agency is to use teamwork to prepare legislations, draft studies, license and run the safe marine transport systems integrated with other transport systems, develop and apply the related technical criteria according to best international practices. The Marine Agency consists of three departments: • Maritime Projects Department; • Registration and Licensing; and • Operations and Maintenance. Objective of this department is to implement and operate a new water transport system for Dubai that integrates into a multimodal transport system which will eventually fulfill the Road and Transport Authority's vision for "safe and smooth transport to all". The new public water transport system would complement the existing Abra creek crossing system and would provide ferry services for the Emirate of Dubai along the Dubai creek and coast to the new offshore land developments.
