Damco has been awarded the ocean business of National Oil Field Equipments & Services (NOFE), one of the largest exporters of potash in Jordan.

NOFE specialises in exporting potash to customers throughout the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia. Potash is one of Jordan's main exports, and is used in a variety of industrial applications including oil drilling and fertilisers.

The business relationship between Damco and NOFE brings a number of benefits to both companies. As a reliable and trusted logistics partner, Damco provides NOFE with fixed and stable service contracts with major carrier lines in Jordan.

Damco is looking forward to increasing the services offered to NOFE. Damco’s Business Develop Manager in Jordan, Mohammed Totanji says: “We are very pleased to have been awarded this business. It is the result of NOFE’s satisfaction with our service and rate offering. Also NOFE is impressed by our global presence and close relationship with our carriers.'

NOFE with its head office in Amman, Jordan is a major supplier of oilfield drilling chemicals as well as other oilfield drilling services within the Middle East, North Africa and the Indian subcontinent. For several years, NOFE has been supplying their customers in India with drilling chemicals; recently they teamed up with Damco for the execution and follow-up of all shipments to South Asia. “We are extremely satisfied with the performance of Damco and their professionalism which is proving itself in the timely delivery of containers to our plant, shipping cargo on time and all the follow-up needed until material arrives at its final destination”, says Khairy H. Kalaji, CEO of NOFE.

“We are aiming to strengthen our cooperation with Damco and Maersk Line in the days ahead as we are sure that dealing with such reputable and trustworthy names will largely improve our performance and reliability with our international customers. It is worth mentioning and commending the performance and hard work of Damco staff in Jordan who are showing all diligence needed so that we can both reach out ultimate target: customer satisfaction.”
