Tristar’s Safety at Sea event to highpoint UAE as global maritime hub

The UAE continues to solidify its position as a global maritime hub with the upcoming 7th Tristar Safety at Sea Conference, set to take place on November 10 at the One&Only Royal Mirage in Dubai. Under the theme ‘Get Safety Right, Get Everything Right,’ the event will bring together key stakeholders to address critical issues in maritime safety and foster collaborative solutions. This gathering follows the UAE’s successful hosting of the World Maritime Day Parallel Event 2025, organized by the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure (MOEI) in September, which focused on the theme ‘Our Ocean – Our Obligation – Our Opportunity.’ The MOEI will once again play a prominent role at the Safety at Sea Conference, with Eng. Hessa Al Malek, adviser to the Minister for Maritime Transport Affairs, attending as an Honour Guest for the third consecutive year. Eugene Mayne, CEO of Tristar Group, emphasized the UAE’s leadership in maritime safety and the event’s evolution since its inception in 2019. Originally aimed at addressing the emotional and mental well-being of seafarers, the conference has grown into a vital platform for dialogue among professionals in the maritime industry. Tristar’s active participation in the World Maritime Day Parallel Event, including showcasing its hybrid electric bunkering barge and engaging in panel discussions, further underscores its commitment to advancing maritime safety and innovation. The Safety at Sea Conference, supported by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), will continue to highlight the UAE’s dedication to fostering global maritime collaboration and progress.
