The Ministry of Transport said in a statement posted on X that maritime operations could restart with immediate effect. The announcement rescinds a June 29 advisory that had called for the temporary suspension of sailing and fishing boats until further notice.

Commercial shipping had remained exempt from the earlier restrictions and continued operating throughout the suspension period.

While authorizing the resumption of maritime activities, the ministry urged vessel operators and all maritime users to continue complying with existing navigation rules and safety regulations to ensure secure operations at sea.

The government did not explain why the temporary restrictions were being lifted or provide additional details about the circumstances behind the earlier precautionary measures.

The June 29 advisory was issued one day after Qatari authorities announced that one of the country’s citizens had died after suffering shrapnel injuries resulting from what officials described as military operations in the region. The incident followed the disappearance of the individual’s vessel.

The temporary suspension of recreational and fishing activities came against the backdrop of elevated regional tensions affecting Gulf waters, although commercial maritime traffic was permitted to continue under the earlier guidance.

Sunday’s announcement signals a return to normal maritime operations for sailing and fishing vessels, while authorities continue to emphasize adherence to established maritime safety procedures.
