DOHA: Qatar International Petroleum Marketing Company Ltd. (Tasweeq) sold and exported around 45m tonnes of GTL products in 2012. The company’s shipment amounted to 130 cargoes per month, almost 4 cargoes per day in the year, Tasweeq Chief Executive Officer Saad Al Kuwari said.
On the occasion of Tasweeq’s fifth successful years of operations, Al Kuwari said: “Tasweeq began its responsibilities in 2008 when it started marketing regulated products, which then included liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), condensates, refined products and sulphur. In 2009, our product line expanded to include non-regulated products, such as Qatar’s crude oil entitlements under an agency agreement with Qatar Petroleum, in addition to local petroleum sales. In 2011, Tasweeq started exporting gas-to-liquids (GTL) products such as GTL naphtha and, most recently, GTL jet fuel. In 2008, we lifted 40 cargoes per month,” he said.
He added: “In terms of manpower, we capitalise on the quality of our human resources. Our world-class employees are truly our most important asset. Tasweeq currently employs a total of 164 staff, of which 42 percent are Qatari nationals. Tasweeq is well positioned to reach 50 percent Qatarisation by 2015 and our Qatarisation strategy supports Qatar National Vision 2030.”
The company recently celebrated five years of successful operations in the presence of H E Dr Mohammed bin Saleh Al Sada, the Minister of Energy and Industry. The celebration was also attended by Tasweeq’s Board Members, VIP guests, the company’s management and staff as well as by members of the media.
Al Kuwari thanked the Minister for his continuous guidance and support to Tasweeq, and he also, applauded the contribution, commitment and dedication of the company’s employees.
During the ceremony, Dr Al Sada distributed congratulatory certificates to Tasweeq employees who completed five years of service thus far with the company. The minister also distributed certificates to Tasweeq’s leadership team for successfully completing the Coaching for Excellence Programme. The extensive workshop has enabled them to apply skills, principles and coaching onto the workplace as “certified coaches”. The Peninsula
