ISO for Dubai Maritime City

DNV has awarded quality, safety and environmental ISO certification to Dubai Maritime City (DMC) and its regulatory arm Dubai Maritime City Authority.

DMC aims to become the world’s first purpose-built maritime centre when it is completed in 2012. Dubai Maritime City, part of the Dubai World Group of companies, and Dubai Maritime City Authority (DMCA), Dubai's premier maritime regulatory authority, have recently been awarded ISO 9001:2000, ISO 14001:2004 & OHSAS 18001:2007 certifications in recognition of their strong focus towards quality, health and safety and environmental management practices. DMC and DMCA have also been awarded a certificate of compliance to PAS 99:2006 in recognition of the integration of their management systems and for reaping the benefits of adopting a single integrated management system covering all three spheres. They are the first and currently the only organizations in the Middle East to be awarded the PAS 99 compliance certificate by DNV. The certificates were presented by DNV’s CEO Dr Henrik O. Madsen to Amer Ali, CEO of DMCA who said: “DMC and DMCA opted for the ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 endorsements as these standards are widely acknowledged for quality, environmental, health and safety management systems.
