The resolution also contains consent to give the Company a new location, west of Doha Port.
This move was an important one, which has allowed Company to possess it own berth (Port) with special technical facilities to accommodate larger ships of about 40000 metric tones of cargo capacity. Our own Port facility is very peculiar. On this Port, the ships can anchor for unloading thereby drastically reducing the logistics. This berth (Port) is equipped with special technical facilities to accommodate larger ships of about 40000 metric tones of cargo capacity. This in turn has reduced the cargo cost.
