The
UAE will soon adopt a new transportation law regulating
the movement of land transport within the UAE and
between the Emirates and other Gulf countries according
to a senior official from the Ministry of
Communications.
Speaking
on the sidelines of the “Arab Land Transport Union”
conference and exhibition held recently in Dubai,
Abdulah Lootah, Deputy Minister of Communications said
that the draft of the new law prepared by the Ministry
has already been submitted to the Federal Government for
approval.
According
to Carlos El Hashem Board Member of the Arab Land
Transport Union trucks moving within the UAE and between
other Gulf countries are sometimes overloaded. “It
creates a lot of problems for roads and every year
billions of dirhams are spent for the revamp of the
damage caused by overloaded trucks,” he said Some 60
per cent of the total load moving out of the UAE is land
cargo with 6,000 tonnes of freight going out from the
country every day.
