Milaha, a Qatar-based maritime transport and logistics conglomerate, has launched a shipping service between Qatar and UAE.
Mainly targeting SMEs in the automotive spare parts, fashion retail, and the Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) sectors, Milaha will use its own marine transport assets and l[ds_preview]ogistics infrastructure to fulfil the service.
According to Milaha the service is part of the company’s strategy to be a one-stop shop for its partners’ shipping and logistics requirements. The frequency of the service will initially be weekly, and it will allow customers to track their cargo online from point of origin to destination.
»This new service is a great example of the advantage of our presence across the supply chain, and how we can leverage the synergies among our business units – in this case, our Logistics and Container Shipping units«, says Milaha’s President and CEO Abdulrahman Essa Al-Mannai.
Quick delivery time and regular departures
Milaha’s new service is ideal for SMEs as it provides a quick delivery time with regular departures between Dubai and Doha, and a single rate which covers pickup, ocean transport, customs clearance, and delivery within the two cities the company stated. The first consolidated shipment of the service is expected in May 2017.
Milaha’s activities include marine transportation in gas, petroleum products, containers and bulk; offshore support services; port management and operations; logistics services; shipyard; trading agencies; real estate investments; and asset management.
