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.

A Seamless Solution for Offshore Operators
This partnership offers a crucial lifeline to companies operating in Qatar's offshore fields.
