RAK Maritime City Free Zone

RAK Maritime City is a government-backed free zone created to support the maritime and offshore sector, providing access to port infrastructure, marine services, and logistics networks across the Northern Emirates.

Licenses are issued only by RAK Maritime City Authority. Easy Setup acts as a business setup consultant and facilitator and does not issue licenses. This ensures legal clarity and regulatory compliance.

RAK Maritime City supports ship management & marine services, offshore support & logistics, maritime consultancy & inspection, marine equipment trading, shipping agency & brokerage services, and port-related service activities. We verify activity eligibility and any external approvals before submission.

RAK Maritime City offers 100% foreign ownership with no local sponsor required. This makes it ideal for international shipping, marine services, and offshore support companies.

RAK Maritime City offers offices, marine service facilities, and port-linked operational spaces (activity-dependent). Visa quota depends on facility type and approved activity, so choosing the right option is important for your business needs.

RAK Maritime City allows investor visas, employment visas, technical staff visas, and family visas (subject to eligibility). The number of visas depends on your facility size and activity type.

RAK Maritime City offers competitive setup and operating costs compared to major port zones, while providing dedicated maritime & offshore jurisdiction, strategic Ras Al Khaimah location, and a growing regional maritime ecosystem.

RAK Maritime City company formation typically takes 2-4 weeks depending on your documentation readiness and facility allocation. Easy Setup manages the entire process end to end for a smooth experience.
