“Doubling down on our efforts to support the booming global energy transition landscape is a natural next step in our evolution, and we are excited to be able to provide the technical skills, specialist assets, and wealth of experience to support the industry at this critical time.”
deugro, which first entered the Middle East market in Saudi Arabia in June 1982, today has eight regional offices in five countries, with the additional countries being the UAE, Bahrain, Oman, and Qatar.
In addition to supporting several large solar farms across the Middle East, deugro recently completed transporting several super heavy lift cargoes for the world’s largest green hydrogen plant located in Saudi Arabia, which will in the end power green ammonia production for export.
