Abdulrahman Essa Al-Mannai, Milaha’s President and CEO, added: “We started and ended the year on the right track financially as well as operationally.  We continue to focus on our core business growth, cost control, and disciplined capital allocation. This all translated into better performance and shareholder value."

He added: "In 2018 we expanded our container shipping reach into new markets, launched the first phase of the Milaha Logistics City, and significantly improved our Offshore segment’s performance.  We believe this is a testament to our capability to act on the right opportunities as they arise, and to our confidence in the future of the maritime and logistics sector in Qatar and the region.”
