Qatar’s ports record positive momentum in February
Qatar's maritime sector witnessed positive momentum in February with more vessels calling on Hamad, Doha and Al Ruwais ports, translating into a robust increase in the shipments of cargoes, containers and automobiles (RORO), according to official data. As many as 237 ships called on Qatar's three ports in February 2026, higher by 4.41% and 3.04% year-on-year and month-on-month respectively. A total of 467 ship arrivals were reported in the first two months of this year, reflecting expanded shipping routes and additional service loops. Hamad Port's strategic geographical location offers opportunities to create cargo movement towards the upper Gulf, supporting countries such as Kuwait and Iraq and south towards Oman.
