ADNATCO braves rough times, continues to add to fleet
Dubai: Dr Ali Obaid Al-Yabhouni, ceo of ADNATCO and NGSCO, emphasised in a speech in a Fujairah forum on bunkering that despite difficult trading conditions Abu Dhabi’s flagship carrier would continue to expand.
He said that Abu Dhabi National Tanker Company recently completed a significant expansion of its fleet, with 17 new vessels joining in the past two years, taking the fleet to 30 ships. A brand new liquefied ethylene gas tanker is set to join the fleet this year, Al-Yabhouni revelaed, which will shift ethylene from the UAE to markets around the world. [27/03/13]
