For the first time, this year’s Dubai International Boat Show (DIBS) 2019 will feature the involvement of Dolphin Marine Group, a regional leader in maritime safety equipment and services.

The regionally renowned event, which has grown to be known for anchoring the region’s biggest marine and lifestyle experiences, is set to take place from February 26 to March 2 at the Dubai Canal, Jumeirah in Dubai, UAE.

Speaking about the company’s first-time participation, Hussein El Bagouri, managing director of Dolphin Marine Group, said: “Our attendance at this year’s reputably known event is a commemorative landmark milestone for Dolphin Marine as we seek to expand our company’s presence locally. The UAE marine industry is well developed and is forecast to be worth approximately $66 billion in 2019, a statistic which gives us the confidence that the Dubai International Boat Show 2019 will only further assist us in realizing Dolphin Marine’s vision for continual growth.”

With the Dubai International Boat Show accounting for 35 per cent of the total regional maritime sector’s investment, it has proven to be a reliable platform for spurring economic growth and attracting large masses of participants in recent years. El Bagouri said: “The event has significantly grown in size with each year of the event’s existence. This makes it an ideal location for industry-related companies to attend, network, gain market exposure and showcase capabilities that will further enhance the sector as a whole.”

Enhancing safety in the maritime industry

Given Dolphin Marine's specialty in a wide-ranging spectrum of maritime safety services and equipment, the company will utilise their stand (no. E-56) at this year’s gathering to extensively display these capabilities. El Bagouri said: “Though DIBS is known for the glitz and glamour of yachts, and various sources of entertainment that the event yields, we believe emphasising maritime safety is essential to ensure the well-being of the entire industry. Our top of the line gear, which includes, but is not limited to, supplying marine safety equipment such as lifejackets, lifebuoys, immersion suits and life rafts, are great assets that we encourage those wishing to enjoy the luxuries of the boating industry to invest in for their own benefit. ”

After a Dubai launch in 2012, Dolphin Marine is steadily establishing itself in the UAE. As the company plans to open an Abu Dhabi branch before the end of 2019, it has made strategic partnerships to inject greater value into the sector and its business.

El Bagouri added: “Our utmost priority is customer satisfaction. To ensure we continually sustain good business standing with our clients, we have implemented quality control departments in both our Egyptian headquarters and UAE branch. We highly prioritise safety as we deal with very critical equipment that requires our utmost concern to protect people's lives overseas. Here, our products are thoroughly inspected to match the highest standards of excellence and customers with inquiries about purchases or services can contact us at their convenience as needed.”

“Marine is striving to follow a similar blueprint. As the market remains on an upward trajectory, we are seeking to forge kinships that will contribute towards its continual prosperity. That is why we are the official agent of Polyform, Duarry, Italwinch, and Mesica, as these are companies, which highly regard the same values as our company, and we are pleased to have their participation with us at DIBS 2019. Moreover, we are optimistic that DIBS 2019 will aid us in forming similar relationships,” he said. - TradeArabia News Service
