Nakilat has concluded its financial results for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2017, with a net profit of QR 607 million compared to QR 749 million of the same period last year in 2016.
The lower profit was mainly attributed to the effect of changing the estimated scrap value of vessels in accordance with applicable International Accounting Standards and the lower number of charter hire days in the current period compared to the same period last year (2016 was a leap year). On the other hand, the company effectively maintained its operating expenses and reduced its finance costs due to timely repayment of the periodic loan instalments.
The Board of Directors noted that Nakilat’s strategic long-term charters for its LNG vessels have ensured a stable business profile. The Board also reaffirmed their steadfast commitment to Nakilat’s growth and development strategy, in line with Qatar’s National vision 2030.
