Qatar owns 15 per cent of the world’s total proven gas reserves. The new shipyard is a milestone in the country’s strategy to create a marine industry to support production and transportation of its oil and gas to world markets. The new shipyard, 80km north of Qatar’s capital city Doha, will undertake repair, maintenance and conversion of very large ships, as well as construction of specialist ships, including offshore supply vessels, tugs, coastal tankers, and the like.
