S’hail Shipping and Maritime Services has acquired its second vessel recently. This vessel is 75,323 dwt at 14.167 mtrs draft.
The company had acquired its first ship ‘S’hail Al Ruwais’ in March.
Mohamed Khalifa al-Sada, S’hail Shipping and Maritime Services chairman and managing director, said, “This vessel is strengthened to carry heavy cargoes, and being a larger sized vessel, she could carry more than 62,000 mt of gabbro from the UAE to Qatar, but only because of draft restriction of 12.5 mtrs in Mesaieed.” 
He added, “Such gearless panamax vessels with higher cargo carrying capacity will be to the benefit of our local customers, who can now carry more gabbro in each shipment.” 
He said, “The vessel is currently booked for next two to three months by local companies to carry gabbro.”
He said the company’s board of directors has already approved the acquisition of its third vessel. 
Al-Sada said, “The third vessel is expected to join our fleet in mid-May.”
After its incorporation in December, 2016, the company has been steadily building-up its tonnage with good quality ships appropriate for catering to not only the local aggregate trade, but also international trading.
