- Milaha Maritime & Logistics’ revenue decreased by QAR 22 million and net profit by QAR 19 million. Most of the decrease was in our Logistics unit due to volume and project disruptions related to COVID19.
Milaha Gas & Petrochem’s revenue increased by QAR 22 million and net profit by QAR 117 million. The increases were driven mainly by improved market rates that had a positive impact on our wholly owned assets as well as our joint ventures and associates.
