Kanoo Shipping was awarded during the event
as one of the big supporters for the Fujairah Port Clinic since its inception,
for getting medical services for vessels calling under our agency.
Kanoo Shipping is an active and regular
user of Fujairah Port Clinic for all the Seafarers requiring medical
attention and also sending emergency Doctor Assistance to the vessel where
emergency medical assistance is required.
Mr. Ahmed Alhafeiti, Deputy CEO,
delivered his welcome address. Subsequently Dr. Antony Thomas gave an
interesting presentation on “Healthy Living” which was very much appreciated by
all guests and followed by a speech by Mr. Manuel Terreiro, HOD of Fujairah
Port Clinic, speaking about the History of Fujairah and their achievement for
the last 20 years and also their future plan for the maritime industry.
Historically, it was mentioned that
Fujairah anchorage gained its prominence after the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988)
and the First Gulf War (1990-1991). The main attraction thereafter
for Ship owners was to capitalize on the strategic advantages of Fujairah
Anchorage before entering the Gulf where a number of Shipping Agents were
available to provide a variety of husbandry services. Today Fujairah
is recognised as one of the world’s biggest bunkering stations.
Fujairah Port Clinic, from a humble
small beginning has grown to become the biggest healthcare services provider in
the East Coast region (Covering Fujairah, Khorfakkan and Dibba) with
various medical establishments under the brand name of Al Sharq Healthcare
across UAE East Cost.
Fujairah Port Clinic pledged to continue to provide 24-hour Quality Medical Services to all its seafaring patients and is currently in the process of upgrading its clinic with a new 3-storey building. There will also be upgrades on medical services in the form of more doctors, laboratories, pharmacies and a ‘day stay’ room for patients.
The celebration concluded with closing
remarks from Mr. Wagdi Zayed, Deputy CEO of Al Sharq Healthcare and Social
Interaction.
A grand buffet followed after that which was a networking opportunity for all guests which included management representatives of Kanoo Shipping.
