MANAMA: Asry has signed a contract with the National Oil and Gas Authority (Noga) to provide a dedicated marine services area in the yard, from which the authority’s projects including the Bahrain LNG Terminal can be supported.
The Noga Zone will provide berth facilities, storage, crew facilities and more, within Bahrain-based shipyard premises.
The Bahrain LNG Terminal project will soon be using the Noga Zone for its maritime operations.
Widely considered the Arabian Gulf’s leading maritime repair and fabrication facility, Asry said its support for Noga projects would help in bringing added value and growth to the kingdom.
“For a major Bahraini firm like Asry to contribute to other nationally important projects, such as the new Bahrain LNG Terminal, not only makes commercial sense, but also national sense for the mutual development of the kingdom,” Asry business development manager Arran Dall said at the signing.
Noga sees Bahrain corporate partners working together as a win-win situation.
The authority’s general manager for oil and gas affairs Jassim Al Shirawi said, “As we develop and advance, co-operation and support of local value providers will support Bahrain’s economy and make the kingdom’s industrial sector more competitive internationally.”
