Ten services. One accountable partner.

From the first meal of the morning shift to fluid haulage, tank cleaning and waste removal. Each service is available on its own or as one turnkey package, with smart reception staffing and reliable, qualified labour supply wherever the site needs it.

Catering

Food people look forward to.

On a remote site, meals are the high point of the day. We plan every menu around the nationalities, tastes and working patterns of the crew, and keep the quality steady from the first shift to the last.

  • Menus planned with the client and the people who eat them
  • Iraqi, Chinese and international dishes for multinational crews
  • Balanced choices every day: fresh fruit, salads and vegetables
  • Festival menus, from the Chinese Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival to Iraqi national occasions
During the Chinese Spring Festival period, the food and beverage supplies on time and service quality both were very good.
