Qatar Gas Transport Co (Nakilat), one of the world's largest shippers of liquefied natural gas, is showcasing its world-class shipping fleet at the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (Adipec), being held in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

The event, one of the largest oil and gas exhibitions in the region, with more 95,000 oil and gas professionals from over 120 countries in attendance, opened on November 7 and will conclude today (November 10).

Nakilat’s shipping fleet is one of the world’s largest with 63 LNG and 4 LPG carriers, as well as its extensive ship repair and construction facilities at the Erhama bin Jaber Al Jalahma Shipyard, said a statement form the company.
