Offshore shipping refers to commercial operations of specialized vessels in the open waters, which is crucial for Qatar’s economic growth and global trade. Let’s explore the key aspects of safe and efficient offshore shipping in Qatar!
Regular upgradation of ship design and maintenance of its systems, such as fuel oil treatment, waste management, and ballast water treatment, are essential for operational efficiency and preventing pollution.
It is of utmost importance to have the right safety equipment and personal gear on board for responding to emergencies and ensuring crew safety.
Opting for cleaner fuels to power vessels significantly reduces emissions and carbon footprints, promising environment-friendly operations.
Utilizing shore power to supply electricity to ships docked in port, instead of diesel-fueled engines, helps reduce fuel costs and air pollution.
Implementing a Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) is crucial for operational excellence, including vessel operations management, crew recruitment, and technical services.
Offshore shipping plays a vital role in Qatar's construction, oil, and gas sectors by facilitating the transportation of resources and equipment. It also supports recreational marine activities, boosting tourism.
