So tell us about that and what CombiLift's role in the group is.

So you've just touched on it, but I wanted to ask you about that operationally independent, how operationally independent you are, and whether there's some competitive advantage to you selling access to the vessels within the group?

And when you look at this region here in the Middle East, where do you see the momentum building for Project Cargo?

And besides that, there's obviously a huge number of other projects going on in Saudi.

So you have a strategy for that and you hope to be involved in a lot of projects there?

This episode is brought to you in partnership with Haraket, proud sponsors of Voices of BreakBalk Middle East.

Haraket has been moving the world's heaviest and most complex cargo since 1957, with a reputation for tailor-made engineering solutions.

Headquartered in Turkey, they operate across three continents, with offices in 28 countries and a team of more than 1,000 specialists.

And a huge thank you to Haraket for supporting project cargo professionals.

And I was reading a newspaper article that was saying how important it is for the Gulf states to have compute power, as they call it.

So the AI data centers, all the infrastructure that's going on for the tech industry, and they hope that'll be a big export.

How exciting do you think that compute power is for the project cargo sector?

Informed decisions.

Is there a market in the Middle East that you think people aren't so switched on that you think could be interesting from a project cargo perspective, the next market?

And if you could fix one challenge about doing project logistics in the Middle East overnight, what would it be?

And there's obviously a big difference between pricing a project and delivering a project.

So what are the strategies you employ to keep the project on track?
