Fuel Subsidy Program for Fishermen: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how registered fishermen in Saudi Arabia can access fuel support for their commercial fishing vessels.
This program provides financial help to those working in the fishing industry to help cover the costs of operating vessels.
Who it's for
To qualify, you must be a registered fisherman who holds an active commercial license.
What you get
You can receive direct financial support or a reduction in the price of fuel used for your fishing vessels.
What it costs you
While there is no mention of a direct fee, you are required to provide monthly reports detailing your fuel consumption and the amount of fish you catch.
The catch to know
The amount of support you receive is tied to the size of your boat. Small boats and large trawlers are placed into different tiers, meaning the benefits are not the same for everyone.
How to apply
- Ensure your commercial fishing license is current and active.
- Prepare to track and record your monthly fuel use and catches.
- Contact the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture for specific registration steps.
