DOHA: Occidental Petroleum of Qatar (Oxy Qatar) has donated the BeachTech 3000 cleaner and a specially made tractor, which will help the General Directorate for Nature Reserves maintain the Sealine Beach safely and efficiently.
“Oxy Qatar is pleased to work with the General Directorate for Nature Reserves to provide this new beach cleaning technology for use at Sealine Beach. Sealine is one of Qatar’s most beautiful and popular beaches, and its wide sandy beach can be maintained with this new equipment. Oxy Qatar is committed to help Qatar protect the environment of the country,” Stephen Kelly, President and General Manager of Oxy Qatar, said during the handover ceremony.
