Duqm: Oman Drydock Company (ODC) has recently been successful in repairing giant iron ore carriers Liwa Max and Sohar Max which belong to Oman Shipping Company (OSC).


The move strengthens partnership between ODC and the government-owned companies in repair and maintenance services and technical and logistic support to the giant vessels and fast ferries. This cooperation comes as a step taken by two companies affiliated to ASYAD Group, which endeavours for achieving a global vision by means of the integration between both companies.


Abdul Rahman al Hatmi, CEO of ASYAD Group, said that this partnership is one of the upshots of the logistics sector companies being under the same umbrella and as one of the group’s principles for development for the group as represented in the optimal utilisation of the available assets and resources to boost the economic and financial returns on the government investments.


Moreover, Al Hatmi has highly praised the cooperation between ODC and OSC as the same has its positive reflections and impacts on both companies and will ultimately send an important message to the logistic sector about the powers and capacities of both companies, their competitive privileges and ambitions for future growth and hence, establish ASYAD’s future concept towards a global approach.


Stephan Aumann, CEO of the ODC, is convinced that the professional level of cooperation with OSC is deemed as one of the successful sustainable business relations for ODC. Aumann pointed out that winning the confidence of clients, such as OSC in the company’s ability to attract many giant vessels is one of the most important factors.


ODC is proud serving OSC since it has an impressing fleet comprising 51 vessels while persisting in rendering a sustainable repair and maintenance service for this big company, which helps both of the companies to win an international reputation in the global logistics market.


The first cooperation between both companies was marked by the reception of the giant LNG Carrier Muscat in October 2011 and since that time, ODC received many vessels and tankers such as Manah, Saham, Mirbat, Al Amerat and Samayil. — ONA
