Qatar’s shipping repairs and offshore construction facility, Nakilat-Keppel Offshore & Marine (N-KOM) is rebranding itself into Qatar Shipyard Technology Solutions (QSTS).
The move marks a milestone in the company’s evolution underscored by the company’s new vision, “to be the leading world-class shipyard of choice” delivering sustainable marine and offshore technological solutions.
The new identity is in alignment with the company’s 13th anniversary and the new name emphasises the importance of its geographical location in Qatar.
“The launch of the new identity of QSTS marks the beginning of a new chapter in our journey, as it underscores our commitment to adopting technology solutions and sustainable practices which is the driving force behind the variety of value-adding maritime services we offer to our customers around the world,” said Abdullah al-Sulaiti, chairman of Qatar Shipyard Technology Solutions.
QSTS, a joint venture between LNG player Nakilat and Keppel Offshore & Marine, was inaugurated in November 2010 as part of the Erhama Bin Jaber Al Jalahma Shipyard complex. The yard has gained extensive experience in dealing with many of the largest and most complex ships in terms of technology and techniques over the years.
