Blue Water participated as part of the Danish joint stand at the Danish Pavilion organized by Tofko Business Development and with a total of 8 Danish companies represented.
Transport of stand equipment was arranged by Blue Water's exhibition department.
The exhibition was also a good opportunity to promote the newly established Blue Water office in Doha, and the stand was represented by Gilna Viju, Shareef Khaja, John Daniel and Arne Iversen, all from our office in Doha with good assistance available from Claus Laursen from Dubai, as well as Thomas Bek, Dan Nissen and Kurt Skov from Esbjerg.
Maersk Oil has been operating in Qatar since 1992, and many Danish subcontractors are now also established in Qatar with own setup and offices.
