Qatar Navigation takes delivery of Qatar's largest lift boat
Milaha (Qatar Navigation) has taken delivery of a new lift boat that will be deployed offshore, particularly in support of field maintenance efforts.
Named Milaha Explorer, the newly built boat will be the biggest lift boat to be owned by a Qatari company, with a large deck area and variable load capacity, as well as the ability to accommodate 300 persons on board.
The lift boat's capabilities will enhance Milaha's offerings to the offshore oil and gas sector, particularly in support of its clients' brown field operations.
“We’re optimistic about continued growth opportunities despite the current challenges in the oil and gas sector, and this newbuild lift boat will enable us to further strengthen our position in the region and beyond,” said Milaha President and CEO Abdulrahman Essa Al Mannai.
Milaha Explorer was built by Bohai Shipbuilding Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. at its shipyard in Liaoning Province in China, and was designed by the China-based Tianjin De-Sail Machinery Equipment Co. Ltd.
Great news, hope it will bring better productivity for all those who work there.
