Cargostore and HALEYS Join Forces to Propel Qatar’s Offshore Growth
In a significant development for Qatar's energy sector, Cargostore Worldwide and HALEYS Group Middle East have announced a strategic partnership aimed at transforming the offshore logistics landscape. This collaboration is set to provide essential infrastructure through the supply of certified DNV 2.7-1 Cargo Carrying Units (CCUs), including refrigerated reefers, to meet the rising demand fueled by the nation’s energy sector projects.
Qatar's expanding energy sector, particularly the North Field and Al-Shaheen projects, is anticipated to greatly enhance LNG production, necessitating reliable and specialized logistics support. The newly established partnership between Cargostore and HALEYS comes at a critical moment, as the country seeks to achieve its ambitious production goals, making seamless access to high-quality containers for offshore operations vital.
Combining Global Reach with Local Expertise
At the core of this alliance is a strategic blend of global reach and local knowledge. Cargostore, with an extensive supply network spanning over 25 countries, brings a wealth of experience in delivering container solutions tailored for the offshore sector. Meanwhile, HALEYS, a Qatari-based firm deeply rooted in the local market, offers essential on-the-ground expertise to meet the stringent demands of Qatar’s energy industry. HALEYS specializes in providing premium solutions, including engineering design, marine and offshore support, certified structural steel fabrication and repair, equipment rental, inspection, testing, calibration, and integrated maintenance services.
A Seamless Solution for Offshore Operators
This partnership offers a crucial lifeline to companies operating in Qatar's offshore fields. These businesses are often tasked with managing the logistics of transporting equipment and hazardous materials, where safety and compliance are paramount. DNV 2.7-1 certified containers ensure adherence to international standards—an essential requirement for Qatar’s high-stakes energy projects.
Qatar's energy ambitions are intricately linked to the Qatar National Vision 2030, a long-term plan focused on sustainability and economic growth. The partnership between Cargostore and HALEYS aligns with this vision by providing logistical solutions that not only address immediate demands but also contribute to the country’s long-term environmental and economic objectives.
