As the subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi-based marine services leader NMDC Group expands its regional and international presence, we got Niels\u2019s insights on their current and planned projects, and on how his company is navigating expansion amid a volatile period for global trade and regional geopolitics.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>EnterpriseAM: What are some exciting developments you see happening in the regional <\/strong><strong>logistics sector, and how is your company capitalizing on these?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Niels de Bruijn (NB): We are excited about lots of development in ports and infrastructure in the UAE and the region. <\/strong>NMDC Dredging & Marine is also involved in clean energy projects, such as the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/uae\/en\/news\/story\/2257f972-c9fd-4404-94e4-6c1e40a2ee75\/adnoc-hands-out-more-infrastructure-contracts-for-al%253cmark%253e-ruwais-%253c%2Fmark%253elng-project\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Ruwais LNG<\/a> terminal, where several ongoing development projects aim to revamp oil and gas infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>We also now know that oil and gas are here to stay.<\/strong> The market is set to stay stable and not go away for the next 10 to 20 years because energy needs are doubling. Experts predict that oil demand will remain at 100 mn bbl\/d until 2040. This doesn\u2019t take away from the fact that sustainable energy sources, including wind, solar, and nuclear energy are needed \u2013 but we still need oil and gas. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>This stable outlook is set to translate into more investment in the logistics of exporting LNG and oil<\/strong>, not only in the UAE but also in Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Building on this, we also expect that the container business will continue to grow, meaning demand for ports, bigger ports, and deeper ports will also grow.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>But of course, some risks remain. <\/strong>While generally optimistic, NMDC acknowledges the risk that the market can be disturbed by ongoing geopolitical tensions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>EnterpriseAM: In response to the volatile global trade environment, what strategic measures is NMDC taking regarding international expansion?<br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>NB:<\/strong> <strong>NMDC is focused on diversifying its projects and expanding on an international scale.<\/strong> Working in different markets helps the company tap into new windows and keep its growth moving.
