Real Estate

Shipping
In 2007 a boom occurred in both India and China in the shipping industry. The local manufacturers started exporting huge quantities of coal ore, bauxite, iron ore, grain, phosphate, fertilizer, and steel. That boom led to the creation of Mr. Fiyaz's shipping network. He developed a fleet of vessels capable of carrying dry goods in bulk. Along with the fleet, he also developed a shipping network which incorporated many clients, both in the exporting countries and in the importing ones. This venture was so successful that Mr. Fiyaz was able to merge with the London registered Global Ocean Carriers. The merger helped increase both the scale and the profitability of this venture.
Oil & Gas, Mining, and Commodities
Mr. Fiyaz currently has only one prospect under his purview, that being of the mining operations that are being done in Guinea and other African countries. That prospect concerns Bauxite, which is a compound containing high levels of Aluminum. It is currently under geological scoping in order to estimate the full value of the find, and how work should be done to minimize natural damage while still extracting the maximum amount of the ore that lies there.
The survey is being held with consultants from notable mining companies such as Coffey Mining, Hatch Engineering, and SRK Consulting.
