More than 250 senior leaders, executives, and representatives from across the shipping and logistics industry in India, as well as major export-import trading companies, attended the event.

Abdullah Aldubaikhi, CEO of Bahri said, “As one of the mainstays of India’s rapidly-growing economy, the domestic maritime logistics and shipping sector has been witnessing tremendous growth in recent years. With Bahri India, we have steadily expanded and deepened our presence in this thriving market offering our industry-leading and technology-driven onshore and offshore services.

We remain committed to stepping up our efforts towards catering to their varied and evolving needs, and will continue to build on our nearly two decades’ experience in this market to unleash its enormous potential for further growth and profitability,” added Aldubaikhi.

Delivering his keynote address at the event, Ahmed Al-Ghaith, president of Bahri Logistics, highlighted Bahri’s major milestones and achievements ever since the company established its office in Mumbai in February 2017. He said Bahri India has helped Bahri build on its long-standing presence in the fast-growing domestic maritime industry and establish more strong and direct relations with customers and partners in line with the company’s long-term business growth strategy, which hinges on strategic industry collaborations as well as the expansion of market footprint globally.
