Shipping to dominate Gulf exports says expert

Speaking in advance of its regional debut at the Seatrade Middle East Maritime (SMEM) exhibition in Dubai this December, a representative of the St. Kitts & Nevis International Ship Registry (SKANReg) said ocean-going trade would dominate the Gulf’s rising export industry.
