Milaha, a Qatari provider of transport and supply chain solutions, has selected project management and consultancy firm Royal HaskoningDHV to develop plans for upgraded shipyard facilities.
Since it was established in 1978, Milaha’s shipyard has repaired roughly 8,000 vessels and served shipowners both regional and international.
In addition to this, the shipyard supports industrial markets by providing maintenance, shutdown, fabrication and workshops services.

“When completed, the shipyard will have an increased capacity and efficiency in handling ship repair works of larger and more complex size, will enhance the focus on the industrial business support and ensure a world class solution for all its clients.
“Additionally, the planned upgrades include a new larger floating dock, larger and enhanced workshops and an overall revamping of the facilities aimed to the introduction of unique services to support specialized areas of Qatar ongoing development.”
