"

After winning its bid to host the FIFA World Cup 2022, the State of Qatar has been propelled into the global limelight. Now the race is on for the country to perfect its transportation and logistics infrastructure in time to show the world what Qatar can really deliver. Determined no longer to be overshadowed in the global logistics arena by its neighbour Dubai, the government has taken up the challenge by channelling billions of dollars into redefining the State as one of the leading logistical hubs in the region.
With its prime geographical location in between trading continents, Qatar has always held the enormous potential as a global logistics hub. “The country’s peninsular geography allows for ports such as Ras Laffan, Mesaieed and Doha to offer significant competitive trade advantages, particularly for its exports of oil and gas,” says Srinath Manda, programme-manager for transportation & logistics practice at consultants Frost & Sullivan."
