Qatar Technical School students along with facility representatives from College of the North Atlantic – Qatar (CNA-Q) had a successful visit to Erhama Bin Jaber Al-Jalahma Shipyard in Ras Laffan.

The day’s program started at shipbuilder Nakilat Damen Shipyard Qatar (NDSQ) with presentations by NDSQ Production Director, Huib Slings and Nakilat’s Deputy Project Director, Facilities Development, Hamish Bullen. The delegation then visited the massive construction hall which can build ships up to 120 meters in length and witnessed metal fabrication and construction.

The tour included a visit to the ship repair and maintenance yard operated by Nakilat- Keppel Offshore Marine (N-KOM) where they attended a presentation by N-KOM’s Assistant Yard Manager, Pawan Sood followed by a tour of the facilities including the two world class dry docks.

Nakilat and its joint venture partners NDSQ and N-KOM place high priority on the training and development of Qatari youth; increasing their awareness of Qatar’s rapidly growing marine industry and attracting Qatari Nationals into the many careers associated with Qatar’s rapidly advancing marine industrial sector.
