BOC is expanding its global helium network with a new distribution center opening in Dubai.
From this location, BOC’s first venture in the United Arab Emirates, BOC will ship gaseous and liquid helium to customers in the Middle East and Asia.
BOC will ship liquid helium from its new contracted source in Qatar, which commenced production in September, to Dubai. BOC’s distribution center is located in Dubai’s Jebel Ali Free Zone in close proximity to the Jebel Ali port. This port is one of the ten busiest in the world for container traffic.
BOC’s distribution facility will manage the logistics for all shipments to and from the Qatar source. It will also prepare empty helium containers for filling before they are shipped to Qatar and check the condition of full helium containers before they are loaded at the Jebel Ali port for their journey to Asian markets. The Dubai facility also will have the ability to perform routine repairs on containers, a capability BOC may also offer to third-parties.
