- P&O Maritime Logistics is uniquely positioned to offer its customers a wide portfolio of value-added marine services including integrated logistics based on advanced data analytics
Dubai: P&O Maritime Logistics (“POML”), a Dubai-based marine solutions and logistics company, has been formed following DP World’s recent acquisition of Topaz Energy and Marine and its integration with P&O Maritime.
Through the synergies created by the merger of the two companies, under the DP World umbrella, the POML business is well positioned to grow and build further scale and value for customers and shareholders alike.
Offering a distinctive value proposition to customers, POML will focus on three strategic segments – Offshore, Port Services and Logistics – delivering world-class capabilities across industries, with safety and the environment at the forefront.
A core focus for POML’s will be the further optimization of offshore logistics for energy companies. With the company’s very robust track record, global clients, diverse assets and knowledge of its customers’ operations, POML is uniquely positioned to continue disrupting this part of the supply chain.
The company will be led by former Topaz Energy and Marine CEO, René Kofod-Olsen.
Commenting on the merger and appointment, Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Chairman and CEO of DP World, said:
“By bringing together the expertise of two great DP World companies, we will be strengthening the overall P&O brand which brings with it a legacy of more than 180 years of maritime history. We look forward to seeing the company develop through its next phase of growth under René’s leadership, delivering the craftsmanship its customers have rightfully come to expect.”
Commenting on the company’s value proposition, René Kofod-Olsen, Chief Executive Officer, said:
“Our industry is constantly changing and evolving. Customers now want a handful of select, trusted, suppliers who can provide much more than one single service. P&O Maritime Logistics is strategically positioned to provide a wide portfolio of services to our customers, be it within one segment such as offshore or port services, or an integrated logistics offering with a combination of services. Owing to the integration between the two companies, we will be able to offer it all and to deliver a difference which drives value for our customers, across all seven continents.
As the offshore industry remains in a state of anticipated recovery, with 2020 likely going to be another challenging year, P&O Maritime Logistics gets to steward one of the most historic names in the maritime industry as it enters this new chapter. I’m both honoured and humbled to have been selected to lead that journey.”
René Kofod-Olsen has appointed an Executive Committee consisting of Martin Helweg, Chief Operating Officer; Robert Desai, Chief Commercial Officer; Prasad Narayan, Chief Financial Officer; and Latifa Mohammad, Chief Human Resources Officer to support him in managing the day-to-day operations of POML’s business.
