Dubai Customs has launched a new disruptive berthing service for the vessels using Dubai Creek.

The new system – Smart Vessel Berthing System – will help vessels load and unload their goods with the help of an advanced AI-based service.

It was built in-house by Dubai Customs employees to facilitate traffic of vessels through the historic waterway, a statement said.

The system will enable trading vessels to finalise their transactions online. They can register at the operations room of Dubai Creek Customs Centre which will direct the vessels to the waiting quays using the Smart Vessel Berthing System.

The vessels are then directed to certain wharfs to load or unload their goods. Dubai Creek Port deals with around 50 other ports in nine countries.
