National Marine Dredging Company (NMDC) has pledged its support to the Abu Dhabi Global Summit of Marine & Maritime Leaders, by becoming the diamond sponsor. The Summit will be held on the 20th of January, 2016 at The St Regis Saadiyat Island Resort in Abu Dhabi and is being organised by Tasneef and Mare Forum.
As diamond sponsors, NMDC will also support the Abu Dhabi Maritime Youth Summit, which will be held on the sidelines of the main Summit.
Praising NMDC for its support, Engineer Rashed Al Hebsi, CEO of Tasneef, said: “We are proud of National Marine Dredging Company, which has strengthened UAE’s reputation globally, in the field of marine dredging with its extraordinary successes, especially in the momentous new Suez Canal project, proving their professionalism. Their sponsorship will be of immense value to the Summit which will be held for the first time in Abu Dhabi, as they will be able to shed light on the significant dredging industry, which is vital for our ports, marine and oil facilities. I am confident that the contribution of NMDC to the Summit will be a game-changer, just like its projects have changed the world map.”
Captain Waleed Al Nahdi, director of Tasneef Academy said: “NMDC’s sponsorship and support shows their commitment and investment to the youth of the UAE, which in turn ensures the sustainability, development and prosperity of the nation for the next generation. We highly appreciate their support of the Main and Youth Summit and look forward to the interaction of their senior management with the younger graduates at the Summit; so as to make the youth aware of the opportunities in the field.”
Engineer Yasser Zaghloul, CEO of NMDC explained why the company decided to support both Summits: “ We owe all our success to the unlimited support of the UAE leadership which has helped us become a leading global company in the field of marine dredging. Therefore, it is natural for us to be at the forefront, when it comes to supporting the UAE as a global shipping hub. We would like to thank Tasneef and Mare Forum for organizing both Summits.”
