 QTA: Agreement set to boost cruise tourism in Qatar – Qatar
Tourism Authority (QTA), while announcing an agreement, has
said that seven cruise ships with up to 17,500 visitors will berth in
Qatar during the 2017-18 season, giving a boost to the country’s
plans to become an emerging cruise destination. German cruise
liner TUI Cruises will be including Qatar in its itineraries. The new
accord comes as a result of discussions started at the Sea trade
Europe Forum in Hamburg, Germany in 2015 and continued until
March 2016 in Fort Lauderdale, US. The pact puts Qatar on track to
achieve its target of 250,000 visitors on board cruise ships in 2019.
The Qatar Ports Management Company, Mwani Qatar, has
confirmed the berthing schedule for the cruise ships. The Qatar
National Tourism Sector Strategy 2030 identifies the cruise
industry as a focus area in coming years. QTA is working closely
with Mwani Qatar to expand various elements of the country’s
cruise industry, in particular, Doha Port, which will be undergoing
redevelopment in the coming months to transform it into a full-
time cruise terminal and tourist attraction. (Gulf-Times.com)
 BMI: Qatar SWF, access to global debt markets cushion energy
demand drop – BMI has said in a report that Qatar’s $256bn
sovereign wealth fund (SWF) as well as the country’s continuing
ability to tap international debt markets provide the economy with
“significant bulwarks against a sustained drop-off in demand” for
oil & gas, while lower hydrocarbons prices do not present a
significant threat to Qatar’s fiscal sustainability. Nevertheless, it
said, “The government will seek to tighten control over public
spending and rationalize Qatar’s vast pipeline of infrastructure
projects – a trend that will be positive for the economy over the
longer run.” The performance of the Qatari economy will be more
mixed than in recent years, amidst the intertwined pressures of
the global energy slump and tightening domestic liquidity. BMI
said, “We forecast real economic growth of 5% this year and 4.8%
in 2017, driven mainly by strong growth in the primary and
secondary sectors.” (Gulf-Times.com)

 GI Survey: ‘Produced water’ is an asset, not liability – According to
Gulf Intelligence (GI) industry survey, a vast majority of energy
professionals in Qatar view that produced water – a byproduct of

of crude oil. It said finding economic and environmental ways to
use produced water is important for all energy producers,
including Qatar, which is the world’s largest liquefied natural gas
(LNG) exporter and produces 680,000 bpd of oil. Qatar’s industry
usually treats and then re-inject produced water from oil & gas
production into the reservoir as a means to sustain the pressure,
or ultimately inject it into a disposal well. (Gulf-Times.com)

went on a 48-hour nationwide strike on Friday to protest against
tax and pension reforms, as Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras
appealed to fractious lawmakers to approve the overhaul as part

one of the most expensive in the Eurozone, is a condition for
Athens to qualify for a fresh installment of the latest international
bailout, worth up to €86bn, which it agreed a year ago with its EU
partners. The strike left ships docked at port, disrupted public
transport and kept civil servants and journalists off the job.
