Spectacular finale for Boat Show

Qatar Boat Show wrapped with deals aimed at turning the event into a commercial hub for the marine sector, including agreements for waterfront transport services, regional distribution, and international representation. Held November 4–7, it featured fireworks on the closing day and a series of signings bringing together port operators, Qatari manufacturers, and commercial partners. Old Doha Port and All Marine for Marine Services signed a three-year agreement to operate Mina Link shuttle boats connecting the Containers Yard and Mina District. Doha Craft appointed Al Boom Marine Company as its official Kuwait agent, while a memorandum of understanding was signed for Halul Boats to be represented in the Republic of Maldives by Aqua Speed. The signings also referenced a 30% rise in GCC participation and the show’s increased GCC boat-builder representation.
