Captain Adbulkareem Al Masabi looked very much at home on the bridge of Adnoc Logistics & Services’ brand-new LNG carrier, the Al Shelila, after it was named at China’s Jiangnan Shipyard in November.

The master turned executive has been charting a more complex course for Adnoc L&S, having swapped the bridge for the boardroom several years ago.

Al Masabi has been CEO of Adnoc L&S since 2018, and the company has seen explosive growth during this period.
