It's Project Cargo Professionals.

We are here in Dubai, and I have the pleasure of being with Lars Greiner, CEO, multi-purpose business at Red Sea Gateway Terminal.

End of a busy, big week.

How was it for you, Lars?

And you've had a global career.

Tell us a bit about that, your background, what you've been doing up until now, and how that helps you in your new role today in Saudi Arabia.

And so talk a bit more about your current role then and what attracted you to it.

But you were telling me earlier that you think the West Coast is really where the opportunity is.

And as you said, there's a huge amount going on in Saudi, World Cup coming up.

On the multi-purpose side, what's driving most of the business that you're seeing at the moment?

And talk a bit about the World Cup, where you see the risks and the opportunities from a logistics perspective.

How ready is Saudi Arabia for the World Cup?

We do read in the press that Saudi Arabia may have been a bit too ambitious, might need to take a look at some of these new megaprojects and rethink the size and the scale of them.

Are you seeing that, or is it full steam ahead?

And let's go back to your facilities and talk a bit about how well equipped you are to handle Break Balkan Project cargo and what you can offer.

Today's episode is brought to you in partnership with SAL, one of the world's leading carriers in the maritime transport of heavy lift and project cargo.
