NEW FACES Meet the New Exhibitors at Breakbulk Middle East

This year’s event has attracted 50 companies that are new to Breakbulk Middle East and some that are new to the Breakbulk experience altogether. Breakbulk spoke to four company executives to learn more about their brands and reasons for exhibiting.

Lars Feller, President, dship Carriers

1. What is the most interesting aspect of your business?

The most intriguing aspects of dship’s business are based on some very forward-thinking fundamentals.

Take sustainability, for example. We have committed to it in several ways: first, in the more conventional sense, by ordering low-eco-consumption vessels even before the sustainability debate had reached its peak; and second, by investing in expertise and women in logistics. As a result, women currently make up 50 percent of dship’s charter and operations staff, even before diversity, equity, and inclusion became a hot topic – something we can be truly proud of.

Moreover, five years ago, dship began establishing a close-knit team with a high level of expertise, with each member having at least 10 years of experience in the shipping industry, if not far more.

In addition to that, we have several younger professionals working side by side with highly experienced staff members, to ensure their best possible development and prepare them for the future.

We are global and inclusive, so we certainly meet, if not exceed, the requirements of a global shipping company.

2. What made your company want to exhibit at Breakbulk Middle East?

The global shipping community, especially in the breakbulk niche market, is in some ways a very close community.

Breakbulk Middle East is a unique and much appreciated opportunity for dship Carriers to meet face-to-face with partners and clients in this region.

Since the pandemic has severely limited the possibilities for such interactions over the past two years, it is of even greater importance to our team to seize opportunities like this and meet our clients where they are located, be it in the Middle East, Africa, Europe, the Americas, or Asia.

3. What is your company’s outlook on project opportunities in the Middle East and Africa?

dship is active in all parts of the world, and we see the future developments in the Middle East. We are equally aware of renewable energy investments in Africa.

The Middle East and Africa have always been important markets and dship will not overlook these regions, quite the contrary.

As the project shipping industry is built on long-term relationships, discussing ongoing and future projects is key to both providing and supporting the necessary investments in our industry. dship is committed to delivering reliable and safe solutions for current and upcoming projects, and we look forward to discussing these with project owners and shipping partners in February 2023.

Korneli Korchilava, Managing Director, HHLA Project Logistics LLC

1. What is the most interesting aspect of your business?

We are a specialist of the Middle Silk Road corridor, the part that covers the Caucasus and Central Asia, and we are used to the many geographical and intermodal challenges that you can meet on this route.

2. What made your company want to exhibit at Breakbulk Middle East?

Our route has become of prime importance since the closure of the Volga-Don canal, so we want to offer more visibility and perspectives to our potential clients.

3. What is your company’s outlook on project opportunities in the Middle East and Africa?

We just opened a new subsidiary in Kazakhstan, so we see ourselves as the link between MEA and Central Asia.
