Rescue boats rushed to the scene where the floating restaurant was docked

“The Dubai Police’s divers went under the vessel and attached the hoist rope of the crane to lift it while ensuring that the floating restaurant was balanced.

The Civil Defense’s team emptied the water of the vessel to reduce the weight and facilitate the salvage operation,” Lt. Col. Al Naqbi explained.

The restaurant was lifted safely and in record time, thanks to the efforts of both entities

The Director of the Ports Police Station urges boat owners to ensure the safety of their vessels by double-checking the equipment, electronic devices, and the whole body of the vessel regularly.
