Nautical institute uae branch has been one of the oldest branches outside the UK and is presently a registered entity at DAC, World Trade Center.

• Open to members from the Emirates, we are always warm to new ideas and collaborative efforts to improve maritime standards in the Middle East.
• With a rapidly growing potential to support members working predominantly offshore, the branch is continually working to engage and represent professionals at all stages of their careers and across a broad range of sea-going and shore-based roles.

Our aim is to promote professionalism, best practices and safety throughout the maritime industry and to represent the interests of our members. Currently, managed by a group of 21 volunteers comprising of 5 nationalities and 2 ladies truly representing the diversity and inclusiveness of the United Arab Emirates.
