Cargostore Worldwide and HALEYS Group Middle East Partner to Revolutionize Offshore Container Rentals in Qatar

Doha, Qatar – October 2024: Cargostore Worldwide and  HALEYS Group Middle East have announced a strategic partnership that is set to revolutionize offshore container rentals in Qatar, a move aimed at strengthening the logistics infrastructure of the nation’s booming energy sector. This collaboration will provide a consistent supply of certified DNV 2.7-1 Cargo Carrying Units (CCUs), including refrigerated reefers, to support the increasing demand generated by Qatar’s ongoing offshore oil and gas projects.

At the signing ceremony, Sohail Ashraf, Middle East Director of Cargostore, and Satheesh Radhakrishnan, Business Development Director of HALEYS Group, outlined their shared vision of raising the benchmark for offshore container solutions. The agreement combines Cargostore’s global supply chain capabilities with HALEYS’ in-depth local expertise, creating a comprehensive and efficient service offering for companies operating in Qatar’s offshore oilfields.

Enhancing Qatar’s Offshore Supply Chain

As Qatar expands its North Field and Al-Shaheen projects to boost LNG output, there is a growing need for specialized logistical support. Offshore operations rely on certified containers to safely transport equipment and hazardous materials. Through this partnership, oil and gas operators will benefit from uninterrupted access to critical containers via HALEYS’ well-established operations in Qatar.

Andrew Hart, CEO of Cargostore, highlighted the importance of this partnership: “We are excited to collaborate with HALEYS to strengthen our footprint in Qatar. Our certified containers are designed to meet the stringent demands of the offshore industry, and we look forward to working together to support vital projects in the region.”

Jassi Chakkamattil, CEO of HALEYS, echoed these sentiments, stating: “Our mission is to provide local expertise that meets the growing needs of Qatar’s energy sector. This partnership enables us to maintain high standards of service, ensuring projects remain on schedule and compliant with safety regulations.”

Supporting Qatar’s Vision 2030

The HALEYS-Cargostore partnership aligns with Qatar’s National Vision 2030 by contributing to sustainable economic growth and supporting the nation’s goal of becoming a global energy leader. The partnership is committed to providing eco-friendly, efficient logistical solutions that meet stringent safety and environmental standards.

Cargostore’s EcoVadis Bronze award for sustainability—placing it among the top 35% of companies globally—further reflects both companies’ commitment to responsible business practices. This forward-thinking partnership will not only serve Qatar’s immediate energy needs but also contribute to the country’s long-term environmental and economic goals.
