Saudi + Kuwait ink MoUs on environmental protection: Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have inked two agreements to increase technical cooperation on preserving and protecting the environment and to mutually recognize seafarers’ certificates, Saudi Gazette reports.

What are seafarer certificates? Seafarer certificates are official documents that certify a maritime worker's qualifications, skills, and competencies required to perform specific duties on a ship. These certificates are issued by maritime authorities and are essential for ensuring safety, efficiency, and compliance with international maritime regulations, such as those outlined by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).

KSA + Kuwait have cooperated on green initiatives before: Saudi multi project developer Red Sea Global (RSG) and Kuwait-based telecom company Zain developed the world’s first carbon-neutral 5G network back in August 2023 at RSG’s Red Sea Project in KSA, using solar energy and 3D printing technology to construct net-zero communications towers.
