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.

According to the International Maritime Organization (IMO), all of the UAE's major seaports and oil and gas terminal operators were ISPS certified by the July 1 deadline. The following UAE seaports received ISPS certification: Dubai Dry Dock (Dubai) Jebel Ali Port (Dubai) Port Rashid (Dubai) Port Zayed (Abu Dhabi) Hamriyah Port (Sharjah) Khor Fakkan (Sharjah) Port Khalid (Sharjah) Fujairah Port (Fujairah) Port Saqr (Ra's al-Khaimah) Ahmed bin Rashid Port (Um al-Qaiwain) The following oil and gas terminal operators received ISPS certification: Abu Dhabi Company for Onshore Oil Operations (ADCO) Abu Dhabi Gas Industries Ltd. (GASCO) Abu Dhabi Gas Liquefaction Company Ltd. (ADGAS) Abu Dhabi Marine Operating Company (ADMA PCO) Abu Dhabi Oil Company Ltd. (ADOC) Abu Dhabi Oil Refining Company (Takreer) Loadin Platforms (Fateh Oil Field, Dubai) Ruwais Fertilizer Industries (FERTIL, Abu Dhabi) Zakum Development Company (ZADCO, Abu Dhabi) The above list includes all major UAE ports and oil terminals, thus oil shipments to the U.S. should not be affected by the non-compliance of remaining ports. 3. The only seaports not yet ISPS certified in the UAE are: Dhow Harbor (Abu Dhabi) Mussafah Port (Abu Dhabi) Um al-Nar Port (Abu Dhabi) Ras Sadr Port (Abu Dhabi) Dibbah Port (Fujairah) Ajman Port (Ajman) These are relatively minor ports in the UAE and it is unlikely that ships calling on these ports would travel directly to U.S. waters. 4. The UAEG also has undertaken internal certifications of its seaports and requires the managing seaport authorities to maintain certain security measures in addition to those required by the ISPS. The UAE Ministry of Interior is conducting the federal certification of the UAE's ports and to-date only Port Rashid and Jebel Ali in Dubai have met the UAEG's ISPS "plus" security requirements.
