Abu Dhabi Judiciary expands legal awareness efforts for foreign communities
This came during a meeting of the Legal Awareness Committee at the Judicial Department, where the outcomes of awareness programs were presented, along with discussions on their development, work plans, and targets for the second half of 2025. The meeting also highlighted successful collaborations with several embassies and major medical institutions in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.
The presentation included the various methods used to deliver legal messages, such as in-person workshops, remote interactive sessions, email newsletters circulated within organizations, and the use of QR codes to maximize outreach to foreign communities.
Counselor Al Abri emphasized that the continued efforts in legal awareness reflect the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President of the UAE, Deputy Prime Minister, Chairman of the Presidential Court, and Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department. These efforts aim to strengthen engagement with all segments of society and ensure a legal environment that promotes justice and legal knowledge for all.
He also commended the embassies and medical institutions operating in the emirate for their active role in supporting awareness initiatives and delivering legal messages to foreign nationals, contributing to a stronger culture of lawfulness and societal awareness among residents of various nationalities.
The meeting also reviewed the action plan for the second half of 2025, which seeks to expand outreach to new sectors such as banks, hotels, and major companies, along with continuous coordination with business councils under the Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The plan includes producing legal awareness videos in English to be published through the department's official channels and social media platforms to facilitate access to legal information.
The awareness topics focus on key legal services for expatriates, including civil marriage, wills, notary services in English, newly introduced laws and legislation, and remote access to judicial and legal services. Special emphasis is placed on raising awareness about the risks of cybercrime and prevention methods.

UAE's Fujairah marine fuel sales hit three-month high in July
Sales of marine bunker fuel at the UAE port of Fujairah rebounded in July after a slump in June to their highest in three months, Fujairah Oil Industry Zone data showed. July sales totalled 640,715 cubic metres (about 635,000 metric tonnes), up 13.8 per cent from June, based on FOIZ data published by SP Global Commodity Insights. The stronger volumes were led by a boost in high-sulphur marine fuel sales, which soared to their highest since January 2024, climbing 28.4 per cent from June to 205,597 cubic metres in July. A wider price difference between low-sulphur fuel oil and high-sulphur fuel oil likely drove more sales of the high-sulphur variety in July. The front-month hi-5 price spread, which reflects the premium of low-sulphur over high-sulphur fuel oil, hit a six-month high of over $95 a ton near mid-July, LSEG data showed. Meanwhile, low-sulphur marine fuel sales, including low-sulphur fuel oils and marine gasoils, rose 8.0 per cent to 435,118 cubic metres. The market share of high-sulphur bunkers widened to 32 per cent in July, while low-sulphur bunkers narrowed to 68 per cent.
