The Coast Guard affirmed that the campaign is part of its ongoing efforts to intensify field inspections, strengthen partnerships with relevant entities, and support strategic projects that contribute to the development of the energy sector. It stressed the necessity of full cooperation, avoiding designated survey areas and complying with issued instructions to safeguard lives and property. The Coast Guard also called on all seafarers to exercise caution and follow announced guidelines, affirming its continued implementation of awareness and inspection programmes and its monitoring of marine navigation to enhance the Kingdom’s maritime security and safety system.
