Oman Aviation Group and the World Ocean Council signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to share the know-how, expertise and opportunities affecting corporate ocean economic platforms.

The MoU was signed during the closing ceremony of the Ocean Economy and Future Technology Conference, a three-day conference that brought together international speakers, delegates and panelists at the Oman Convention and Exhibition Centre.

The World Ocean Council, for its part, brings a depth of ocean industry expertise along with a commitment to promote and ensure sustainable development for a healthy and productive global ocean.

Mustafa Al Hinai, CEO of Oman Aviation Group said, “This Memorandum of Understanding sets a framework for collaboration and sharing of innovative ideas, expertise and know-how. Our aim is to join efforts in balancing sustainable ocean practices with economic objectives.”

Paul Holthus, Founding President and CEO of the World Ocean Council added, “We are honoured and excited to work with Oman Aviation Group, other leadership companies and investors, and the Sultanate of Oman to advance the sustainable ocean economic development of this amazing country.”
