Nakilat - Keppel Offshore & Marine (N-KOM), the joint-venture shipyard between Qatar’s Nakilat and Keppel Offshore & Marine, has signed a landmark deal with the Angelicoussis Group of Companies to be the preferred shipyard for ship repairs in the Middle East, according to a report.

 

The agreement applies to all vessels operating under the group’s three ship management companies, said The Peninsula report.

 

N-KOM is located at Erhama Bin Jaber Al Jalahma Shipyard, in Ras Laffan, Qatar, it said.

 

“The Angelicoussis Group has been an important partner in Nakilat’s expansion and growth over the years. We are delighted to see our long-standing partnership continue to grow with the signing of this fleet agreement and we are confident of providing Maran with quality ship repair services for their fleet of vessels," Abdullah Al Sulaiti, managing director, Nakilat, was quoted as saying.

 

"Our world-class Erhama Bin Jaber Al Jalahma Shipyard in Ras Laffan remains demonstrative with its state-of-art facilities that it is the premier choice when it comes to ship building, repairs and maintenance,” he said.

 

With more than 110 vessels, the Angelicoussis owns and operates the largest fleet of vessels in Greece, the report added.
