Qatar Navigation (Milaha), a leading maritime and logistics conglomerate, showcased latest upgrades in its operations and services at the recently concluded 2nd Business Continuity and Resilience Conference, which was held in Doha, Qatar.

The event was held under the patronage of Minister of Commerce and Industry Ali bin Ahmed Al Kuwari and was attended by business continuity, risk management and organisational resilience professionals from all sectors, said a statement.

Milaha’s chief executive officer Abdulrahman Essa Al Mannai headed the company’s delegation to the conference where he delivered a presentation, showcased latest developments, and highlighted the company’s contribution to the overall resilience of the Qatari economy.

In his presentation, Al Mannai highlighted some of Milaha’s success stories since the beginning of the blockade, notably, connecting Qatari cargo to international liner networks and supporting Qatar’s food supply chain connectivity.

Al Mannai said: “From the first day of the blockade, Milaha has proven itself to be a reliable and trustworthy partner by ensuring business continuity to all its clients, starting with the relocation of our transhipment hub and the quick rollout and expansion of fast, direct shipping services between Qatar and key regional and international ports in Oman, Kuwait, Pakistan, India, and Turkey.”

“As a result of those decisive and prompt measures, a lot of the blockade’s repercussions have been mitigated and even reversed to Qatar’s benefit; and the shortage of vital goods and supplies was averted,” he added.

Al Mannai also received the Business Continuity Institute’s “Award for the Continuity and Resilience Provider” category, which was judged by a UK-based panel of independent international experts in further recognition of Milaha’s role in ensuring continuity of business in Qatar, it stated. – TradeArabia News Service
