Qatar Gas Transport Company Ltd. (Nakilat) Qatar Gas Transport Company Ltd. (known as “Nakilat”, which means carriers in Arabic) is a Qatari-listed shipping company established by the State of Qatar to own, operate and manage LNG vessels and to provide shipping and marine-related services to a range of participants within the Qatari hydrocarbon sector. Nakilat is an integral component of the supply chain of some of the largest, most advanced energy projects in the world undertaken by Qatar Petroleum, Qatargas, Rasgas and their joint venture partners for the State of Qatar. Nakilat was established in 2004 and is a joint stock company owned 50% by its founding shareholders and 50% by the public. It is building a large fleet of vessels to transport LNG produced from Qatar’s North Field, the world’s largest non-associated gas field with approximately 15% of the world’s total proven reserves to global markets. By 2010, Nakilat expects to own up to 56 LNG vessels, making it one of the largest LNG ship owners in the world. These vessels, ordered from Korean shipyards, incorporate the latest technology for safe, reliable and cost-effective transportation of LNG over many years, and are the result of several years of engineering design work and testing. Nakilat is also involved in developing a new world class ship repair and dry dock facility in Ras Laffan. The company has formed a Joint Venture (“JV”) with Keppel Offshore & Marine - a global leader ship conversion and repair as well as a specialized shipbuilder - to operate the new yard.
