West Bay Petroleum Co. WLL (WBPS), a subsidiary of Mohamed Bin Hamad Holding Company (MBHHC), has established a distribution Agreement with Flyability SA making the WBP Co. the Authorized Distributor for Flyability Products in the State of Qatar.Flyability is a Swiss drone manufacturer with one goal in mind: no more humans doing dangerous jobs. Their drones are built to operate indoors, in complex and confined spaces. Their latest drone, the Elios 3, is the world’s most advanced indoor drone for confined spaces. In a growing race for companies to optimize costly inspection operations and to make sure that critical assets are properly monitored through the duration of their lifecycle, challenging-to-inspect assets are of vital importance. Visual inspections of such assets are known to be dangerous, long, and expensive – but they don’t have to be.The Elios 3 offers unparalleled confined space inspection capabilities and has garnered global recognition across multiple industries including but not limited to Oil & Gas, Energy, Civil Engineering, Cement, Maritime and Mining. It allows companies not only to perform visual inspections but also to collect mountains of data regarding their assets in a safe and cost-effective manner by minimizing labor intensive inspections and removing the need for complicated access structures.“The addition of a globally recognized company such as Flyability SA in our range of partners is something that we are very proud of. Additionally, the feedback that we have had from the market in the past 7 months has been outstanding. This gives us the confidence that not only is Flyability SA the partner of choice for Confined Space Drone Technology but also that the Elios 3 Drone is superior.The Partnership is something that we believe helps us meet our Holding Company’s contributions towards Qatar Vision 2030 in terms of supporting the digitization efforts of the State of Qatar across multiple industries. We will also be showcasing this technology in the upcoming Conteq Expo 2024.”, H.E. Sheikh Jassim Bin Mohammed Al-Thani, Vice-Chairman for MBHHC added.“Flyability is a perfect example of what Swiss excellence is all about: innovation, expertise, and international reach. This spin-off from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne - EPFL knows how to reinvent itself in order to remain at the cutting edge of its field of excellence. We are proud that Flyability is now one of the many Swiss companies contributing to the strong economic relations between Switzerland and the State of Qatar.” H.E. Florence Tinguely Mattli, Ambassador of Switzerland also added.In March 2024, Flyability announced a new payload for Elios 3: the Ultrasonic Thickness payload. This new tool is targeted for streamlining non-destructive testing and will be available for purchase through West Bay Petroleum Co. WLL.“This new payload on an already acknowledged platform, the Elios 3, will be a game changer especially in the State of Qatar, where traditional methods of Data Capture for UT can lead to prolonged shutdown times for valuable assets across several industries that cost Companies Revenue. We are excited to introduce this technology to the State of Qatar as part of our continued efforts of introducing new Drone Technologies to the country alongside our partner Flyability SA” Alexandros Lakatamitis General Manager at West Bay Petroleum Co. WLL.“Qatar is a regional leader in technology and innovation, and we are glad to finally have a hub there with MBHHC.” Fabio Fata, Sales Manager at Flyability.”
