Consolidated Shipping Services and Peters & May imported and exported the racing boats for the Mouawad Team of the Union Internationale Motonautique (UIM)-XCAT Powerboat Team for the recently run Dubai and Abu Dhabi stages. “CSS & Peters & May are committed to promoting and sponsoring grass roots sporting events and initiatives.” stated Edward Morgan – Manager Yacht & Marine Logistics. “We believe that developing & encouraging these types of local events demonstrates our support to the ever expanding boating community”.
The Mouawad team was running in second place in the Dubai leg which was held off the Mina Seyahi waters of the Dubai International Marine Club (DIMC) but due to bad weather the race had to be postponed until March after three on-water incidents, including two boats flipping.
However, two weeks later the Mouawad team driven by Omar Danial and Gary Ballough were able to repeat their strong performance for an excellent 2nd place finish on the Abu Dhabi Corniche. This keeps them in second place in the overall season’s standings.
