Qatar Navigation was established in 1957 as the first public shareholding company registered in Qatar and holds the rather coveted commercial registration number of 1. The aim in establishing the company was stimulating growth in the Qatari economy through the provision of shipping, transportation, and handling services necessary to link Qatar with the rest of the world. The company has since evolved, expanded and diversified into maritime transportation, port management, shipping agencies, logistics services, ship repair and fabrication, trading activities, as well as real estate development and asset management. Qatar Navigation also has a 50% stake in Qatar Quarries and Building Materials Company, a 30% stake in Qatar Gas Transport Company (Nakilat), and owns 50% of Gulf LPG. The company has smaller stakes in a number of other associated companies. Qatar Navigation (QNNS) is publically listed on the Qatar Exchange and represents almost 5% of the Qatar Exchange Index.
