In the competitive world of maritime services, few names resonate with as much reliability and trustworthiness as Marcap. Known for its strong foundation as an Offshore Vessel Owner and Operator headquartered in Abu Dhabi since 1996, Marcap is now charting new courses. We had the privilege to sit down with President & CEO, Samer Qiblawi, to discuss the company's exciting expansions and upcoming exhibit at the Saudi Maritime Congress.

Everyone knows Marcap as an Offshore Vessel Owner and Operator that opened its headquarters in Abu Dhabi in 1996. But you mentioned you're expanding the services. Could you tell me more about it?

Absolutely. While we've built a solid reputation as a comprehensive vessel management company, we've realized that many clients have specific needs that require tailored solutions. To address this, we've broken down our services: from complete vessel management to specific services like tailored crew supply for OSV, tankers, and shipping, supervising dry docks, onsite repairs, supply chain management, vessel inspection services, global vessel delivery, and many more. We're committed to opening new horizons and are always looking to expand, as evidenced by our presence in regions like East Africa. Post-pandemic, growth is not just an option; it's a necessity.

Your physical presence as a company in Saudi Arabia dates back to 2010, correct? How do you feel about your position in that region now?

We feel very confident and well-established in Saudi Arabia. Time and positive client interactions have played significant roles in our growth here. Our fleet has expanded, and we've been collaborating with reputable clients like Aramco for over a decade, and now KJO is also part of our esteemed clientele. Our top management frequently visits Saudi to underscore the strategic importance of this market. We're eager to deepen our presence, which is why we've decided to exhibit at the Saudi Maritime Congress on September 18-19. We invite everyone interested to visit us, and to schedule a meeting, please contact us at media@marcap.ae.

Nowadays, it's popular to discuss the core values of companies. What are yours?

Reliability stands at the forefront of our values. At Marcap, our clients can always count on us to deliver what we've promised and go beyond expectations. We believe in transparency and ethical business relationships, which are deeply embedded in our company's culture. Within our organization, open communication and mutual support are paramount. We genuinely care about our employees, consistently improving work conditions and rigorously enforcing HSE protocols, not just on paper but in practical, onboard applications.

Marcap's emphasis on ethical business and transparency is commendable. What can potential clients expect from you at the Saudi Maritime Congress?

An in-depth look at our comprehensive suite of services and capabilities. Our team will provide detailed information about our fleet, newly launched services including dry docking and repairs, and our bespoke solutions in crewing and vessel management. We'll also showcase our advancements in maritime technology and safety standards. This event is an excellent opportunity to forge new partnerships, and we're eager to demonstrate our commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction. Top management will be on-site to engage with attendees, discuss potential collaborations, and share insights into our strategic vision.

We're thrilled about the future and our role in the Saudi market. At Marcap, our dedication to excellence, safety, and sustainability remains unwavering. We look forward to welcoming industry professionals to the Saudi Maritime Congress and exploring new opportunities together.
