Qatari shipping conglomerate Milaha has bought a new floating dock. The dock is set to arrive at the Mesaieed Shipyard in the coming months and will be fully operational in the second half of this year.
Milaha president and CEO Abdulrahman Essa Al-Mannai said: “As per our plan announced in December 2018, Milaha’s shipyard is undergoing a major modernisation program aiming to ensure future success by building on its past accomplishments and set the standards for a quality and safety oriented solution to the market and to Qatar.”
The new dock will be able to accommodate vessels for ship repair up to 230 m in length and comes as Qatar continues to strengthen its overall transport infrastructure in the wake of deteriorating ties with its neighbours in the Gulf.
