More ships docking in Qatar amid sanctions

The first of the two vessels operating the new India Qatar Express Service (IQX) has docked at Doha’s Hamad Port. The vessel, Hansa Magdeburg, had sailed from Nhava Sheva port in India, Qatar Ports Management Company (Mwani Qatar) said a statement on Twitter.

Mwani Qatar also announced that another ship, Paul Abrao, had arrived at Hamad Port from Salalah in Oman. The new IQX service connects Hamad Port with the Mundra and Nhava Sheva ports in India.

Meanwhile, the first Turkish ship carrying some 4,000 tonnes of dry food supplies, fruits and vegetables set off from a port in western Turkey’s Izmir province on Thursday. The ship was expected to arrive in Doha in around 10 days.

More global liners are reportedly keen to call on Hamad Port, looking to utilise its infrastructural facilities, according to sources.
