A strong double-digit year-on-year (y-o-y) expansion in building materials and vehicle throughput, coupled with modest growth in general cargo and container handling, kept Qatar's Hamad, Doha and Al Ruwais ports busy during 2021, according to Mwani Qatar.

Ooredoo has announced the completion of its 5G rollout for Phase 1 of deployment at Hamad Port Container Terminal 2, a project that commenced in June 2020 in partnership with the terminal’s operator, QTerminals

Hamad Port has handled container volume of more than 5mn TEUs or twenty foot equivalent units since the start of operations.

The container and cargo throughput via Hamad, Doha and Al Ruwais ports recorded strong growth momentum in the first quarter (Q1) of 2021, hinting at a rebound in Qatar

Qatar's share in the overall Middle East trade is expected to significantly increase with the robust technological infrastructure supporting the Hamad Port's second container terminal (CT2).

A five-fold jump in general cargo and more than doubled handling of building materials, along with robust growth in containers, led Hamad, Doha and Al Ruwais ports witness robust performance in December 2020

Dr Xiaosong Ma, principal scientist at Qatar Computing Research Institute (QCRI) of Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU), has been recognised as an ACM Distinguished Member for outstanding scientific contributions to the computing field.

The Maritime Customs Department at Hamad Port has foiled yet another attempt to smuggle banned tobacco products (tambaku) into Qatar.

A significant decrease in humidity levels is expected in the country from Saturday, the Qatar Met department has said, while also forecasting thundery rain and strong winds at times on Friday.

The General Authority of Customs (GAC), represented by the Maritime Customs, has foiled an attempt to smuggle 7,493kg of a prohibited chewing tobacco (*tambaku) at Hamad Port.

The Ministry of Municipality and Environment, represented by the Environmental Monitoring and Laboratory Department, supervised the operations of placing four environment monitoring buoys, two in Hamad Port, and two in Ruwais Port, in co-ordination with Qatar Ports Management Company (Mwani Qatar).

Qatar’s multiple growth engines appear to have ignited as the general cargo and container movement as well as handling of building materials through Hamad, Doha and Al Ruwais ports witnessed robust expansion year-on-year this September
