Yet, relying on our predictive risk management capabilities, we managed to stay ahead of the crisis, taking exceptional measures to protect the interests of our shareholders. All 18 of our commercial vessels were fully deployed worldwide, with zero strandings despite the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, we launched an emergency plan to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our team members, maintaining full operating capacity across our other business verticals, including Innovation, Defence & Technologies, and Yacht Management divisions. We are proud to be a key partner in supporting the UAE’s security strategy.”
