Nakilat Shipyard Celebrates 100th LNG Carrier Repair

Nakilat-Keppel Offshore and Marine (N-KOM), Qatar’s premier shipyard, has celebrated its 100th LNG carrier repair at Erhama bin Jaber Al Jalahma Shipyard in Qatar.
The milestone is confirmation of N-KOM’s position as a leading provider of repairs and maintenance to LNG carriers in the region. N-KOM’s strengths include the might of its leading parent companies, Qatar’s Nakilat and Singapore’s Keppel Offshore and Marine, a high level of LNG carrier expertise and Erhama bin Jaber Al Jalahma Shipyard’s strategic location in Ras Laffan Industrial City.
“Nakilat is a world-leader in global gas transportation and we are proud that Nakilat’s joint venture with Keppel Offshore & Marine has grown to become a leader in the repair of LNG carriers,” said Eng. Abdullah Fadhalah Al-Sulaiti, N-KOM chairman and Nakilat managing director.
“The shipyard’s continued success is part of our commitment to the sustainable diversification of Qatar’s economy and to the Qatar National Vision 2030,” he added.
In turn, N-KOM CEO Chandru Rajwani said, “N-KOM has successfully established itself as the region’s leading service provider for gas carrier repairs and gas-related solutions within a short span of four years. This achievement today is testament to that. Moving forward, N-KOM will continue to deliver in a safe, quality and timely manner to our customers as we strive towards becoming not only a center of excellence for gas carrier repairs but also the preferred shipyard delivering solutions.” Established in 2007, N-KOM is a joint venture between Qatar’s premier gas shipper Nakilat and leading offshore rig constructor and ship repairer Keppel Offshore & Marine Ltd. From its strategic location within the world-class Erhama Bin Jaber Al Jalahma Shipyard complex, N-KOM offers a comprehensive range of repair, conversion, maintenance and fabrication services for marine vessels, offshore and onshore structures.
Nakilat is a Qatari marine transport company providing the essential transportation link in Qatar’s LNG supply chain. Its LNG shipping fleet is the largest in the world, comprising 61 vessels.
Nakilat also manages and operates four large LPG carriers and four LNG carriers.
