Dubai: Qatar said on Sunday that maritime ​activities would resume with immediate ‌effect, according to a Transport Ministry statement posted on X.

This reverses ​a June 29 advisory ​that had urged the temporary suspension ⁠of sailing and fishing ​boats until further notice, though commercial ​shipping was exempted.

The ministry on Sunday urged all maritime vessel operators and ​users to “abide by the maritime ​regulations and instructions in effect, to ensure ‌the ⁠highest levels of safety and security for all trips”.

Qatar did not provide a reason behind ​the ​June 29 ⁠measure, but it came a day after it ​said one of its ​nationals ⁠had been killed after sustaining injuries from shrapnel due to “military ⁠operations ​in the region”, ​following the disappearance of his vessel.
