Message From 

GMD 

Welcome to the December Issue 

of the Ali & Sons Access Point 

Magazine. 

For our year ender newsletter, I 

can say this a very interesting 

issue. It features many activities 

and updates of Ali & Sons 

business units with various photos 

in the following pages. 

One of the highlights of this 

newsletter is the introduction of 

the company’s E-learning 

Program. The program was 

introduced to an initial number of 

employees. The HR team carefully 

evaluated the participants who 

can join as well as the different 

modules that they can enroll in for 

a period of one year. I am quite 

happy that in the end it gained 

good results. Despite of the 

participants’ busy schedule, 14 of 

them managed to finish the 40 

modules and that is something 

quite impressive. 

In another subject, I would say 

that the market in the Middle 

East is challenging but that did 

not stop the Ali & Sons 

Management and Staff to work 

harder than usual to achieve 

their targets. I am talking about 

the contracts being awarded, 

strategic partnerships, successful 

completion of projects, on track 

project timelines and new 

project initiatives. Even the 

implementation of the Value 

Added Tax in 2018 did not stop 

the Ali & Sons team in 

accomplishing their goals. 

I am inviting you to read this 

quarter’s issue of our newsletter. 

I assure you that it will be worth 

your time reading it. 

In this regard, I would like to 

extend my appreciation to all 

who contributed in making this 

an interesting copy to read. 

Wish you all a Happy New Year.

Ali & Sons introduces E-Career 

Learning, 160 personnel handpicked 

to take the program 

The Ali & Sons management believes that successful business comes from competent and knowledgeable 

workforce hence it introduced the E-Career Program. 

160 personnel from head office and other business units/subsidiaries were carefully evaluated and 

handpicked by the supervisors and managers to participate and take part in the program. The initiative 

was available for one year up to August 2017. It has 40 courses in different modules. Included in the 

NEWS & UPDATES 

modules as supplements are online books of top-selling leadership and management books, engaging, 

interactive courseware, hands-on simulations and a multitude of other solutions. The program is 

designed to every user’s adaptability and busy lifestyle. The users can access the modules where and 

when it is convenient for them, even at the comfort of their own homes at their own pace within a year. 

Modules are also accessible on mobile phones and laptops 24/7. 

Among all the subsidiaries and head office departments who participated, AS Motors – Volkswagen 

has the most number of participants who completed the 40 courses of the program. It has been a 

truly remarkable achievement! Mr. Ammar Johmani shared how he was able to encourage his team in 

completing the E-learning Program. 

“I have selected the most enthusiastic, eager-to-learn people from among my team to join this program. 

I didn’t have to push them because they were already proactive in completing the courses. My only 

contribution was encouraging them to check each and every course and complete them even if it’s not 

their expertise. I also gave advices such as trying to learn something different and getting out of their 

comfort zones, test and check a different environment - in this case different courses. I guess it all paid 

off since AS Motors – Volkswagen has the most number of participants who completed the 40 courses 

of the program”, said Mr. Ammar Johmani, GM – Volkswagen. 

“Ali & Sons always looks after the welfare of its employees and committed to its well-being. The E-Career 

Academy is an instrument in helping the employees develop their skills, knowledge and talent. I want to 

thank all the participants who joined and completed the program. I value their enthusiasm in taking part 

in this company’s initiative. Additionally, I want to especially thank the Top Achievers of this program. 

They are the group who completed the 40 courses offered in the program. Congratulations! There will 

be more programs lined up on the E-Career Academy in the future. I’m encouraging everyone to take 

proactive steps in ensuring their participation on these activities of the company. I want every employee 

to grow and develop with the company and one way of achieving it is through active participation”, 

said Mr. Shamis Al Dhaheri, GMD- Ali & Sons Holding.

ASH 

Cash Management Solutions Successful Implementation in 

Ali & Sons 

Ali & Sons prepares for the VAT 

starting January 2018 

The first phase of the Cash Management 

Solutions Module was recently implemented 

successfully and currently operational following 

the signing of the agreement between Ali & 

Sons Holding Management (ASH) and Abu 

Dhabi Commercial Bank (ADCB) Team in the 

3rd quarter of 2017. 

“Congratulations and well done for being 

able to complete the project in a timely 

manner. This is certainly a recognizable 

achievement for all. It is a great milestone 

for the company as well especially for 

Ali & Sons Motors Division. The cutting 

edge technology of the module will make 

transactions a breeze for everyone including 

Ali & Sons’ clients. I would like to thank all 

the members of the team that helped make 

this happen. The completion and execution 

of the project would have not been made 

possible without each member taking time 

and proactively working for its success.” 

said Mr. Shamis Al Dhaheri, Ali & Sons 

Group Managing Director. 

The features of the systems that makes it unique 

and innovative are: Online international and 

local credit transfers | Liquidity Management | 

Multi bank Reporting System | Cash & Cheque 

Pick Up Service | Post-Date Cheque Management 

| Cheque Scanning | Payment Gateway | Cheque 

Printing with Digital Signature. 

Having the system up and running will make 

the bank processing for Ali & Sons and its 

customers more convenient. The initiative was 

led by Mr. Farhan Ahmed, Project Manager of 

the Cash Management Module with the full 

support of the Ali & Sons Steering Committee 

(Mr. Shamis Al Dhaheri & Mr. Atef Ashour), IT 

Team (Mr. Amuthan, Mr. Tariq and Mr. Vijay) 

and Business Process Owner (Mr. Abraham - AS 

Motors). They were all instrumental in making 

the first phase of the project successful. 

The Value Added Tax (VAT) is a very broad based Tax that applies to supplies of both goods and 

services that consumers and commercial business pay to their suppliers. The business units must 

also collect VAT on their supply of goods and services to others. In most cases the businesses 

will be able to reclaim the tax paid on supplies and offset that tax against VAT that is collected 

from its customer. 

The training was focused on specific provisions of the law and rules in the UAE to properly 

comply with the new laws. Deloitte kindly assisted Ali & Sons and its business units through 

four separate VAT Awareness Training Sessions conducted during the week of 10 December 2017 

so everyone involved will be ready for the new VAT in the UAE effective for transactions occurring 

on 1 January 2018 and thereafter. Other member states within the UAE will also be required to 

implement the VAT system. The VAT in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was also carried out starting 

1 January 2018 while the remaining Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) members must implement 

VAT prior to 1 January 2019. 

All the VAT sessions were well attended by the representatives throughout the Ali & Sons and its 

subsidiaries. Everyone was interested to learn how VAT can impacts the different businesses of 

the company.

Gulf Navigation announces potential 

strategic partnership with Ali & Sons 

Marine Engineering Factory (ASMEF) 

ASMEF gets Petrofac contract in SAJAA Plant for site 

construction works 

Petrofac awarded a contract to Ali & Sons Marine Engineering (ASMEF) for site works in Sajaa Gas

capacity of 700 MMSCFD with associated condensate and water is situated. 

The project entails the design and construction of all facilities related to the storage of LPG in bullet 

tanks and blending facility of LPG. The blended LPG product will be finally exported by loading them

there is zero tolerance for international HSE standards. 

According to HE Khamis Juma Buamin, Board Member, Managing Director and Group CEO of Gulf 

Navigation Holding, “Our new strategy targets collaborating with the leading national companies in 

the UAE, in line with our wise leadership’s vision to establish a national maritime industrial cluster that 

will position the UAE amongst the world’s most important maritime centers. We are proud with our 

partnership with “Ali & Sons Marine Engineering Factory” that is considered one of the leading oil and 

gas and maritime services companies in the region.” 

Shamis Al Dhaheri, Group Managing Director of Ali & Sons Holding highlighted the importance of this 

partnership, “After we have witnessed the outstanding financial and the administrative performance 

of “Gulf Navigation Holding” over the past two years, we have selected this company to inaugurate 

a partnership specialized in oil and gas and maritime services. We have considered Gulf Navigation’s 

international reach and its management expertise in facing the challenges and transforming them into 

opportunities in the maritime sectors.” 

Al Dhaheri added, at Ali & Sons, we are looking for this kind of efficiency to proceed with our success 

and develop the business we started since decades. We believe that gathering the national companies’ 

capabilities is our guarantee to expand globally and to 

strengthen the UAE’s position as a key player in the oil and gas 

industry and the international maritime services.”

the prime investments sectors that surpasses the traditional 

investment sectors such as, Real Estate and services. - Marasi News

ASMEF 


Ruwaya at the Dubai Design 

Week 2017 

ASMEF yard achieves 3 MILLION 

MANHOURS WITHOUT LTI & ZERO TRIR 

Ali & Sons Marine Engineering Factory (ASMEF) ended year 2017 with a 

Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) of 0. Coincidentally, around the same 

time ASMEF had also reached a significant milestone of THREE MILLION 

manhours without any Lost Time Incident (LTI). 

The two important achievements were accomplished by the commitment 

to HSE of each and every team member of ASMEF. These people have 

been the key to this success. Mohsen El Sherif, ASMEF Acting General 

Manager stated, “I want to acknowledge the efforts of the ASMEF team. 

Reaching this number is not easy but it was made possible because of 

everyone’s discipline and hard work, and ensuring safety is at the forefront 

of everything we do. Well done! Let’s continue this excellent attitude 

and putting into practice and thinking Safety First in everything we do. 

Congratulations to all of us.”

TOTAL RECORDABLE 

INCIDENT RATE 

For the first time, Ruwaya took part in one of the 

biggest Art Exhibition in the Middle East “Dubai 

Design Week” in November 2017 at the Dubai 

Design District, Dubai UAE. 

It was a collaboration between a mother (Fatima 

Al Dhaheri) & a daughter (Shamsa Al Dhaheri) to 

create an exceptional installation piece “The 

Fronds of Our Remains.” 

Both Fatima and Shamsa having the same 

connection and appreciation, each one of them 

translated their vison to the palm tree in a different 

way, Fatima through jewellery and Shamsa through 

art. 

Inspired by one another, their pieces converse with 

each other in the same space creating an interesting 

dialogue. 

The palm tree is a rich symbol for commenting on 

transformations in the UAE. It was once a tool of 

survival and living, now transformed into a 

decorative prop or ornament and is not what it is 

used for today. 

A vital material that symbolizes the significant 

progression in UAE, and stands in stark contrast 

to the palm, is plastics and metallic elements. 

Using wood acrylic plastic and yarn sourced from 

palm trees, Shamsa created her piece using light 

resulting in abstract and organic shadows on the 

floor allowing visitor to interact with the piece. 

The Palm Tree Experience allows the visitor to feel 

as if they are walking under palm trees being 

comforted by its shadows. 

The installation is a synthetic interpretation of a 

palm tree that feels as much like a sleek building 

as it does an organic form. Buildings and 

skyscrapers have been mass-produced in the 

UAE, springing up almost overnight. The UAE 

was able to achieve what many countries took 

hundreds of years to realize within a short 

timespan. Although the dramatic change in an 

extremely short period of time is undeniably 

amazing. The piece emphasizes the struggle we 

are facing as a community, which is finding a 

new balance in this clash of old and new. 

The installation revolves around the conversations 

between the parallel identities of the self and of 

the culture in relation to modernization. It leads 

one to question whether there is a possibility of 

these two concepts living harmoniously together.
