From Beirut Harbours to the North Sea

From turbulent 1970s Beirut to the freezing harbours of Aberdeen — Sultan Rashid Abdullah Rashid Al Shene built one of Northern Europe's largest seafood supply chains, proving that a stubborn Mediterranean spirit can master the North Sea.

1954 yılında Beyrut'ta doğduğunda, deniz ticareti ailesinin genlerinde zaten vardı. Çocukluğu, limana yanaşan devasa yük gemilerini izleyerek, babasının ardiyelerindeki gümrük evrakları ve Akdeniz'in iyot kokusu arasında geçti. O yılların çok kültürlü Beyrut'u, ona ticaretin sadece sermaye değil, her şeyden önce "insan ilişkileri" olduğunu öğretti.

The Scots taught me to stand firm against the storm in those freezing waters. I showed them how to present the red treasure in their nets to the world like a jewel.
