ENOC Group, a leading integrated global energy player, has sealed an agreement with DP World, aimed at strengthening the emergency response capabilities across Dubai’s key energy and logistics infrastructures.
The MoU was signed by His Excellency Saif Humaid Al Falasi, Group CEO of ENOC Group, and His Excellency Abdulla Bin Damithan, CEO & Managing Director of DP World, GCC. The signing ceremony took place at the ENOC Headquarters in Dubai.
Under the agreement, ENOC and DP World’s emergency teams will lead an annual joint exercise to enhance training, preparedness, and response times. In addition, it outlines regular updates to emergency response plans and a shared protocol for engaging external parties to ensure swift and coordinated action.
“This MoU marks a significant stride forward in solidifying our commitment to the highest safety standards and emergency preparedness. We are proud to collaborate with DP World, a partner who shares our deeply held values of ensuring operational safety and resilience across the board. This collaborative approach will undoubtedly enhance our collective ability to respond effectively to any unforeseen incidents, safeguarding our people, assets, and the community.”
His Excellency Abdulla Bin Damithan, CEO & Managing Director, DP World GCC, added that, “Safety is the core value that underpins everything we do at DP World. This agreement reflects our shared commitment to creating a safe environment for our people, assets and operations. Together with ENOC, we’re enhancing our ability to respond to emergencies and building more resilient, safe infrastructure to support regional trade.”
ENOC Group remains committed to upholding the highest levels of safety and emergency preparedness. In 2022, the Group, in partnership with Dubai Civil Defence, unveiled its first Emergency Response Centre in Jebel Ali.
Recently, members of ENOC’s Emergency Response Centre completed specialized training at the International Fire Training Centre in the UK, strengthening the Group’s HAZMAT and fire risk assessment capabilities.
The training upskilled firefighters to respond effectively to hazardous material incidents, carry out complex rescue operations, and conduct fire risk assessments within the high-risk oil and gas sector.
