U.S. Mission to the UAE’s Post

Gigantic achievement with massive records briefed in interesting 2 minutes! The make of such a long lasting and strategically impactful infrastructure and logistics solution is surely not a simple project, but thanks for the leadership’s unlimited support and the organically-integrated collaboration among management, teams, and other key stakeholders and resources. The invisible but quite vital “success enabler” was/is a “purpose-fit governance model”, among other key enablers.

Great Success

#Culture Either aspect of it - working or social - differes from region to region, person to person, company to company. “My values are reasonable”, everyone is convinved. “You need to re-evaluate yours”, is easy to think. Culture is an agglomerate of attitude, behaviour, opinions - and culture is a crucial part of our own personal identity. Working at Emirates Steel Arkan this week during #Ramadan, it is amazing to discover great aspects of different cultures from various, divers nationalities. Working together towards #one #clear #goal has the ability to #bridge differences and fostering the positive for the desired results. As usual, this project also does not go without a certain aspect of #green #steelmaking and #lowCO2 #ironmaking. HyL direct reduction plants 100% feeding EAFs are a broadly considered scenario for integrated steel plants moving away from BF-BOF to DRP-EAF or DRP-Smelter. ESA is of course also not short on initivaties in further improving their footprint. A truely innovative steelmaker. #Thankyou for having us, Saeed Alghafri and the entire ESA family !

#gulf_maritime_bodies #india #Strengthening_maritime Saudi Arabia’s King Abdulaziz Port has strengthened connections to India’s nautical hubs thanks to increased cooperation between two Gulf maritime bodies. The Saudi Ports Authority announced that Safeen Co., a subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Ports Group, has added the Dammam facility to its new UAE-India-Gulf service — a maritime trade route connecting India and the wider Arabian region. The passage serves as a vital artery for the transportation of goods and commodities between these key economic centers. It supports trade flows, facilitates supply chains, and contributes significantly to the economic growth and development of the areas it connects. In a statement, the Saudi authority, also known as Mawani, said the new shipping service links the Kingdom with #six_regional and #international_seaports. These include the #Indian ports of #Mundra, #Kandla, and #Nhava_Sheva, along with Iraq’s #UmmQasrPort, Qatar’s #Hamad_Port, and the UAE’s #Abu_Dhabi Port. It was also noted that this initiative promises to boost the #movement_of_exports and #imports to and from the Saudi harbor, aligning with its vision for reliable and efficient operations and a firm commitment to safety and sustainability. #economic_development
