Integrated logistics solutions provider Agility, has been awarded a major new contract in Qatar by RasGas, the country’s key liquefied natural gas (LNG) enterprise. The scope of the multi-million dollar contract comprises global freight forwarding, transportation and customs clearance for a period of four years, both locally and around the world.

“Qatar is crucially important to the growth of Agility in the region and this deal represents an important milestone in our company’s six-year history locally,” said Agility CEO Middle East and North Africa, Elias Monem. “During this time we have invested substantial sums in Qatar to ensure that our global reach and local capabilities match to deliver unparalleled standards of service for important clients such as RasGas.”

In the oil and gas sector, Agility provides unique supply chain solutions and logistics services that support upstream (O&G exploration phase and crude oil), midstream (gas-related) and downstream (refined/finished products).

RasGas is owned by Qatar Petroleum and ExxonMobil RasGas Inc. and operates production facilities to treat, liquefy and export LNG to countries across Asia, Europe and USA.
