Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

(SBU) Econoff delivered ref information April 24 to UAE Federal Customs Authority Deputy Director General Saeed Al- Marri, who undertook to forward the International Ship And Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code to the customs authorities in each of the UAE's seven emirates. He reminded Econoff, however, that the UAE does not maintain an open registry and the vast majority of ships that use UAE ports are foreign-flagged vessels registered in one of seven major open registry countries. In other words, the UAE is not a flag of convenience. He also posited that very few, if any, UAE-registered ships travel to or operate in U.S. waters. 2. (SBU) Note: According to the CIA World Factbook, the UAEG has registered 61 vessels, including the following numbers of ships by type: cargo 12, chemical tanker 4, container 7, liquefied gas 1, livestock carrier 1, petroleum tanker 25, roll on/roll off 6, short-sea passenger 4, and specialized tanker 1. UAE ships constitute 0.41 percent of the world's merchant fleet by tonnage. With approximately 30,000 ships on the seas, the UAE's percentage by number of ships is an even smaller fraction. End note. 3. (SBU) Comment: The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) sells oil and gas Free on Board (FOB) -- basically, international oil companies purchasing UAE oil are responsible for shipping the oil from Abu Dhabi to the point of consumption. While Post will also inform ADNOC of the ISPS regulations, we suggest that Washington convey the information to private shipping companies and the international oil companies directly. End comment.
