Saudi Red Sea Authority Announces First-ever Cruise Ship Regulations

The Saudi Red Sea Authority (SRSA) has announced the Kingdom's first-ever framework for cruise-ship operations, according to the Saudi Press Agency. The framework serves as the operational and procedural regulator for Saudi Arabia's growing cruise tourism sector. Comprehensive Guidelines This comprehensive set of guidelines seeks to ensure safety and security of tourists and provide them with unparalleled experiences and top-notch services. The regulations meticulously define the responsibilities and precisely determine the roles of ship operators, shipping agents, and ports. They also created a unified path for obtaining the necessary licenses and permits to operate cruises including all technical and operational requirements. Thus, it further strengthens confidence among investors and consumers alike. Safety Crucially, SRSA made safety a cornerstone of all its provisions and procedures. It requires cruise ships to develop emergency plans and regular crew training aligned with international standards, while ensuring that safety and first aid equipment as well as qualified medical personnel are on board. Environmental Protection As for the environmental aspects, the new framework features strict environmental protection provisions designed to mitigate marine pollution. Consequently, cruise ships must adopt integrated waste management plans, undertake wastewater treatment, and adhere to a zero-discharge policy for waste into the sea. In order to preserve the Red Sea's marine environment, ships should abide by leading international agreements like MARPOL and SOLAS. Tourist Experience To provide tourists with seamless experiences, the regulations require service providers at ports and on ships to offer high-quality transportation, reception, information, entertainment, and catering. By setting this framework, the Saudi Red Sea Authority is building a new era of coastal tourism regulation, combining both professionalism and discipline. At the same time, the regulations take into consideration security, safety, environmental, and quality of life requirements. Overall, this move further solidifies the Kingdom's position as one of the world's most promising cruise destinations.

Saudi Arabia confirms full compliance with voluntary OPEC+ target

The Saudi Ministry of Energy reaffirmed Friday that it remained 'fully compliant' with its voluntary OPEC+ target. 'Marketed crude supply in June stood at 9.352 million barrels per day, in full alignment with the agreed quota,' a statement from the ministry said. 'Amid heightened geopolitical tensions, the Kingdom acted prudently, proactively, and preemptively, in line with its role as a reliable, dependable, and transparent energy supplier, to strengthen supply resilience and uphold global energy security,' the statement added. The ministry stated that production briefly exceeded supply, but emphasized that these additional volumes were not marketed domestically or internationally. Rather, the additional supply was redirected as a contingency measure to build domestic inventories, optimize east-west flows, and reposition barrels to offshore storage hubs under long-term delivery strategies, according to the statement. 'The Kingdom reports both production and supply data with full transparency to the OPEC Secretariat on a monthly basis. 'Furthermore, all eight OPEC-designated Secondary Sources were formally briefed at the beginning of this week regarding the June figures,' the ministry added.
