What Al Khor & Dakira Schemes & Services Company does

Al-Khor and Dakhira Schemes and Services QSC (AKD) is a privately held Qatar shareholding company founded in 2005 in Al Khor, Qatar, with more than 1,000 shareholders and a seven-member board. The company provides an integrated suite of services to the Ras Laffan Industrial City ecosystem and surrounding areas, including ship chandelling (provisions, PPE, consumables, and technical marine supplies to international and local vessels), real estate (residential compounds, labor accommodations, commercial complexes, and facility management), industrial support (equipment rental, plate heat exchanger and industrial valve maintenance via the AKDIndus joint venture with Adhiam Thermal Systems), retail (approximately 45 stores and mini markets), and catering (restaurant management inside the industrial city). Its underlying operational platform consists of its own temperature-controlled freezer/chiller/dry fleet, a dedicated 24/7 ship chandelling logistics operation, the Bujleeb Compound (397 villas/apartments), the RLIC Commercial Complex (4,250 sqm), the Al Huwaila Complex (32 units), and an on-site MEP workshop.

AKD's business model is a multi-vertical B2B/B2C services operator with revenue streams across professional services (chandelling, catering) and managed services (real estate, industrial support, retail). It sells primarily on a contract or quote basis to industrial enterprises (oil and gas, petrochemical, power companies in Ras Laffan and Mesaieed), government clients (Hamad Medical Corporation, Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy), and a long tail of vessel operators and industrial-city workers. GTM is enterprise field sales with dedicated delivery controllers and customer care staff operating 24/7, supplemented by physical retail storefronts in industrial zones. The company has invested in an international compliance stack (ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, 22000 plus ISSA, IMPA, BIMCO) to qualify for maritime and food-safety-sensitive work.
