• SCHENKER Saudi Arabia LLC welcomes The Korean Projects delegate
  for KSA and NME

(DMM, 18th November 2009)

South Korea’s links to the Middle East were founded on the Near Middle East region’s energy resources and exports, but thanks to the persistence of its contractors, trade is no longer one way.

In summer 2008 SCHENKER Korea and SCHENKER Saudi Arabia LLC started constant business lead exchanges related to the regional project sector and since beginning of 2009 both country organizations have arranged various JOINT SALES TOURS either in Korea or in the NME region itself. During that time, it has been decided that SCHENKER Korea and SCHENKER Saudi Arabia LLC will pay a special focus on the Kingdom between the Red Sea and the Arab Gulf and will send a Korean Project delegate over to the NME region.

Today we are glad to announce that Mr. Sangbum KIM has started as Korean BD Manager – Projects for KSA & NME. Mr. Kim is based in our Dammam Branch Office and will support all Korean EPC contractors, his home office in Seoul as well as the local and regional project management teams.

•  SCHENKER Saudi Arabia to handle Aeroparts Service
  

SCHENKER Saudi Arabia, Jeddah Branch’s first experience with AOG-service for the aeroparts industry recently took place with Al Wafeer Air, a new charter carrier that specializes in organizing flights for Hajj and Umrah pilgrims from all over the world.  

SCHENKER Saudi Arabia has been appointed by Al Wafeer Air to ensure express customs clearance for spare parts that have been flown in to Jeddah from different locations for the maintenance of their planes.

These parts need to be custom cleared extremely fast to avoid delays in the scheduled flights.  

At the same time, when one of their aircrafts is in a foreign airport and requires parts, SCHENKER Jeddah organizes the export from Jeddah to that particular destination, always using the fastest possible connection!  

The urgency of this service is fully conveyed in the name ‘AOG’, which stands for ‘Aircraft on Ground’.  If the parts are not cleared and delivered to the aircraft on time, the plane will not be allowed to take off and will stay on ground.  This is obviously a situation which the airline wants to avoid! 

Besides customs clearance, this service also entails thorough follow up, plus constant communication with the involved authorities, ground handling agents and the airlines staff responsible.  Such high expectations are being met by the SCHENKER Jeddah Branch staff on a daily basis.

•  Deutsche Bahn exclusive partner in a billion euro project in Qatar

DB CEO Grube: Overseas commitment also safeguards jobs inside Germany • Federal Transport Minister Ramsauer: German expertise and technology are in demand the world over

(Berlin, 22 November 2009)  Deutsche Bahn is to be the exclusive partner of Qatar Railways Company (RAIL) for the establishment of a rail-bound transport system in the Emirate of Qatar, one of the richest countries in the world. Dr. Rüdiger Grube, CEO and Chairman of the DB Management Board, signed the relevant agreement for the formation of the Qatar Railways Development Company (QRDC) in Doha, the Qatari capital, today, in the presence of the Qatari head of government Sheikh Al Thani and Federal Transport Minister Dr. Peter Ramsauer. DB International will have a stake of 49 per cent in the new company, the remaining 51 per cent will be held by Qatari Diar, a state-owned company. The new planning and management company will be responsible for setting up a railway organisation and will steer all planning and construction activities for the establishment of one of the most modern metro and railway systems in the world. The project envisages a metro system for the capital, as well as long-distance and freight lines. The investment volume will amount to roughly EUR 17 billion. The cooperation will also include the provision of vocational training in the rail sector for young Qataris.

"We are proud and delighted that DB International has been chosen by the Qatari government as the partner for this ambitious infrastructure project. This once again proves that Deutsche Bahn expertise enjoys a great reputation throughout the world. Moreover, especially in the present difficult economic climate, such overseas projects also help to safeguard jobs inside Germany," stated CEO Dr. Grube. Federal Transport Minister Dr. Ramsauer welcomed the project as an important symbol: "The signing of this agreement shows that German expertise and German technology in the transport sector are in demand the world over."

Participation in the planning company is also of strategic importance for DB, as investments running into hundreds of millions are planned for the establishment and upgrading of rail infrastructure in the Arabian peninsula over the next two decades. DB therefore believes that successful operations in Qatar would offer excellent prospects for securing further business in other Arab countries.

"DB International has already been working on a concept for developing rail transport in the emirate on the Persian Gulf together with our partner company, Qatari Diar, since the autumn of 2008," said Martin Bay, Chairman of the DB International Management Board. The newly formed company will now implement that sophisticated concept. The metro system planned for the capital city of Doha will have four lines, 98 stations and an overall length of 300 km. The plans also include a 180-km long high-speed line to Bahrain, which is designed for a top speed of 350 km/h. A 100-km long line to Saudi Arabia will be suitable for trains running at speeds of up to 200 km/h. A total line network of 325 km is planned for freight traffic, most of which will also be used by passenger services.

QRDC is in charge of a budget volume of EUR 700 million. Pursuant to the agreement, DB International will supply two of the four managing directors, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for the first four years. QRDC will  be responsible for implementation of the entire projects within the scope of the resolved railway transport concept.

The Emirate of Qatar, which has a surface area roughly half the size of the Federal Land of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, owns the third-largest natural gas reserves in the world. In 2008, the country had a gross domestic product of USD 85,900 per capita, the highest in the world. Upgrading the Qatari rail transport system is part of the government's comprehensive modernisation and diversification campaign which is aimed at reducing its dependency on gas. The campaign involves public and private investments of EUR 130 billion in education, health, industry and infrastructure up to the year 2015. Qatar has a population of approx. 1.2 million.
