LOC Group, the premier international marine and engineering consulting firm, is pleased to announce the expansion of operations in Qatar<\/a> with the recent appointment of Captain Jaimie Jones<\/a> as Marine Manager to LOC Doha<\/a>.<\/p>\n

LOC opened an office in Qatar in 2004 and decided to re-invigorate operations there because LOC Qatar has signed a new multi-year contract with Qatar Petroleum, alongside a number of other agreements which require Qatari based operations, for the provision of Marine Warranty<\/a> and Consultancy Services<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Group is proud to support the expansion and further development of Qatar\u2019s oil and gas<\/a> industry, in addition to serving the international P&I, H&M clubs and Qatar\u2019s local insurers.<\/p>\n

Capt. Jaimie Jones has been recruited to help drive this expansion, and he brings 23 years\u2019 experience across the shipping and oil & gas sectors. His experience includes rig moving<\/a>, as tow master<\/a>, offshore project management, sailing in senior positions on a wide variety of vessels including as SDPO on AHTS and seismic vessels. He also has experience as an OVID inspector<\/a> as well as being a certified offshore crane operator and inspector.<\/p>\n

Prior to joining LOC Jaimie gained his experience working in a number of global locations incl. West Africa and Thailand for a number of blue-chip companies in the sector, including Chevron, Seadrill, Noble Denton and Tidewater.<\/p>\n

Cris Partridge<\/a>, Regional Director at LOC Group, commented:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe expansion of our Qatar office comes at an exciting time for LOC Group\u2019s Middle East<\/a> business. We have secured a new contract with Qatar Petroleum, one of the most high-profile operators in the region, and are delighted to welcome Capt. Jaimie Jones<\/a> to the team, as Marine Manager. Jaimie\u2019s experience and expansive skill set will enable us to expand the Group\u2019s services offering to our local and international clients in Qatar.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
