Qatar says that maritime activities will resume with immediate effect, according to a statement by its ministry of transport.

This reverses a June 29 advisory that had urged all vessels to suspend sailing and maritime activities until further notice.

“Maritime navigation activities can now resume normally for all types of maritime vessels and ships,” the ministry said on X.
