Doha, Qatar: Building on the current year’s progress, the Ministry of Transport (MoT) aims to strengthen Qatar’s global position by developing land, maritime, and air transport infrastructure with advanced technologies, connecting the country regionally and globally.

In a recent post on its social media handle the MoT highlighted the key accomplishments across the land, maritime and air transport sector in 2024.

Qatar’s main gateway to world trade, Hamad Port has implemented a range of measures to protect the environment and combat climate change. The port has installed fixed and mobile environmental monitoring systems that measure ambient air quality, noise, groundwater, water quality, and marine environment.

Mwani Qatar was awarded the ‘Glob of Honour’ Award and ‘Sector Award’ by the British Safety Council highlighting exceptional excellence in environmental management for its significant contributions to sustainable development and the preservation of Qatar’s marine ecosystem in November 2024.

According to Mwani Qatar website, record number of containers and cargo were handled by Hamad, Ruwais and Doha ports during the year. Around 2,542 vessels docked at the ports, 1,528,874 tonnes of general cargo, 127,947 RORO units, 1,334,057 TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) containers, 499,376 heads of livestock, and 278,742 tonnes of building materials were handled in 2024.
