Milaha deploys flagship vessel ‘Explorer’ off West African coast

Doha
Milaha, a Qatar-based maritime and logistics conglomerate, has announced the deployment of its liftboat, Milaha Explorer, off the coast of West Africa as part of a long-term charter with a major international oil company.
Milaha Explorer is the largest of its kind to be owned by a Qatari company and has a large deck area, a variable load capacity and the capacity to accommodate 300 persons onboard.
Milaha’s President and CEO Abdulrahman Essa al Mannai said,”Over the past few months, we have been significantly ramping up our operations and I am pleased to announce further growth in our geographic footprint and operational portfolio with this long-term deployment, which marks our entry into Africa. Milaha Explorer is a new and modern vessel, and we wish its captain and crew safe and successful operations.”
Milaha took delivery of Milaha Explorer in 2016. It is part of the group’s marine offshore fleet, which comprises more than 47 anchor-handling towing vessels, platform support vessels, dive and construction support vessels and other vessel types supporting the offshore oil and gas industry.
Milaha’s overall fleet consists of more than 90 vessels, including oil tankers, LNG carriers and container vessels among others.
