The third draft of the law is currently with parliament awaiting approval, Al Kiyumi said.
Oman’s existing Maritime Law was issued in 1981.
Al Kiyumi said the new law would include regulations concerning management of the sector, ship registration, ship building and maritime transport, certification of seafarers, as well as a provision for the seizure of vessels in cases of abandonment.
The Seatrade Maritime Middle East Exhibition & Conference is part of UAE Maritime Week, which runs until 1 November.
