Qatar says all maritime activities will resume immediately

-

July 5 (Reuters) - ‌Qatar said on Sunday ​that maritime activities would resume with ⁠immediate effect, according to a Transport Ministry statement posted on X.

This ​reverses a June 29 advisory that ‌had urged the temporary suspension of sailing and fishing boats until further ⁠notice, though commercial shipping ⁠was exempted.

The ministry on Sunday urged all maritime vessel operators and users to "abide by the ‌maritime regulations and instructions in effect, ⁠to ensure the highest ‌levels of safety ​and security for all trips".

Qatar did not provide a reason behind ‌the June 29 ​measure, but ⁠it came a day after it ‌said one ⁠of its nationals had been killed after sustaining injuries from shrapnel ​due to "military operations ‌in the region", following the disappearance ⁠of his ​vessel.
