Doha, Qatar: The Ministry of Transport (MoT) issued a circular announcing the resumption of marine navigation activities during the morning shift, while continuing to suspend marine navigation activities during the evening shift, for recreation, tourism, fishing, and similar vessels.
MoT mentioned that was due to the ongoing technical glitch in the Global Positioning System (GPS), which could affect the accuracy of marine navigation devices and navigation safety.
The Ministry called on all marine vessel owners and seafarers to adhere to the following:
-Return from sailing before sunset.
-Do not sail beyond 12 nautical miles.
