CEO’s Statement to the Public, Customers, and All Stakeholders: A New Dawn for Somalia and the Region

Dear Esteemed Stakeholders, Valued Customers, and the Broader Community,

It is with great pride, humility, and a deep sense of responsibility that I introduce Sommarine to you, a company born from a vision to bring about a new dawn for Somalia and the entire region. As the CEO of Sommarine, I am honored to lead a company dedicated to bringing transformative change to our maritime industry, our economy, and the communities we serve. This is more than just a business venture; it is a vision for the future, rooted in innovation, sustainability, and the empowerment of our people.

Sommarine is more than just a company; it is a symbol of hope, innovation, and progress. Founded on the principles of excellence, sustainability, and community empowerment, Sommarine aims to redefine the standards of boat manufacturing and maritime operations in Somalia and across the region. We believe that our work has the potential to create lasting change, driving economic growth, enhancing food security, and contributing to a brighter future for all.

Sommarine was founded with a bold and ambitious goal: to establish Somalia as a leading hub for maritime excellence. We are committed to designing and manufacturing world-class fishing vessels that embody the highest standards of durability, fuel efficiency, and environmental stewardship. Our boats are not just products; they are the embodiment of our dedication to quality and sustainability, addressing the growing global demand for responsible fishing practices while preserving the health of our marine ecosystems.

At the heart of Sommarine’s mission is a deep commitment to the people of Somalia and the region. We believe that real progress is achieved when economic development goes hand in hand with social empowerment. This is why we are devoted to creating opportunities that uplift our communities. Through our comprehensive training programs, we are equipping local populations with the skills they need to thrive in the maritime industry, from boat construction to sustainable fishing operations. By fostering local talent and providing meaningful employment, Sommarine is playing a pivotal role in the economic revitalization of Somalia.

Our commitment to sustainability is unwavering. As stewards of the ocean, we understand the critical importance of protecting our marine environments from the pressing challenges of overfishing, pollution, and climate change. Sommarine is dedicated to promoting sustainable fishing practices that safeguard the long-term viability of our fish stocks and marine ecosystems. We collaborate closely with partners at the local, national, and international levels to advocate for responsible fishing methods, reduce bycatch, and protect endangered species.

Beyond boat manufacturing, Sommarine is part of a broader ecosystem that includes our subsidiary, GLOBALSOM LIMITED. GLOBALSOM is responsible for operating the vessels we produce, focusing on large-scale, sustainable fishing operations that enhance the value of our boats while contributing to the sustainability of our marine resources. This integrated approach allows us to offer a comprehensive solution to the challenges faced by the maritime industry, from the design and production of vessels to their deployment in fishing activities.

As we embark on this journey, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to our community, customers, suppliers and partners for your trust and support. Sommarine is committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity, quality, and sustainability in all that we do. We believe that by working together, we can achieve our shared vision of a prosperous and sustainable future for Somalia, the region, and the global maritime industry.

This is a new dawn for Somalia and the region, and we at Sommarine are excited to be part of it. We look forward to building a brighter, more sustainable future together.

Sincerely,

Qays Abdirahman Osman.
