Abu Dhabi, SONNA – The Ministry of Fisheries and Blue Economy of the Federal Republic of Somalia has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Abu Dhabi Ports Group. This partnership aims to jointly invest in and develop the fishing industry and port infrastructure in Somalia.

The agreement outlines a comprehensive plan for effective cooperation in the field of fisheries, including the development of fishing ports, establishment of marine monitoring stations, enhancement of fishing industry infrastructure, and creation of training schools for fishing skills and techniques.

Kapten Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, General Manager and CEO of Abu Dhabi Ports Group, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating, “We want to explore opportunities to support Somalia’s economic development by establishing investment and cooperation plans in ports, maritime services, and the country’s fishing sector. Abu Dhabi Ports Group will work with the Ministry of Fisheries and Blue Economy of Somalia to strengthen the capacity of the country’s maritime and fisheries sector.”

Minister of Fisheries and Blue Economy, Mr. Ahmed Hassan Adam, highlighted the transformative potential of this partnership. “With the cooperation of Abu Dhabi Ports Group, we are preparing a path that will lead to long-term sustainable growth and the strengthening of port infrastructure, as well as supporting the fishing sector in the country. This partnership will not only enhance our capacity but will also contribute to economic development and provide new opportunities for our coastal communities that depend on fish production.”

The Ministry of Fisheries and Blue Economy aims to leverage the extensive experience of Abu Dhabi Ports Group in port management and logistics services to benefit Somalia’s fishing economy. This partnership aligns with Abu Dhabi Ports Corporation’s recent strategic expansions, including lease agreements for ports, maritime services, and logistics sectors in Egypt, the Republic of Congo, Angola, and Tanzania.

The collaborative efforts between Somalia and the UAE signify a shared vision of economic growth and sustainable development, with a focus on empowering local communities and advancing the fishing industry.
