Doha, Qatar: The Ministry of Transport (MoT) has issued a stern reminder to all maritime vessel operators regarding safety and legal requirements. 

In a statement released today, the Ministry emphasized on the importance of adhering to maritime regulations to ensure safety at sea.

The MoT has called upon operators of all types of vessels to comply with three key requirements:

1. Ensure a valid registration certificate is available on board at all times.
2. Display clear and visible identification numbers on the vessel.
