(audio in progress) Loop on this effort following the appointment of an executive EVP to oversee the Marine & Technical Services segment as well as the recent sale and divestment of the Hino dealership, which happened a few weeks ago and which we owned since 1982.
While relatively small in terms of contribution to the group, the exit of the Hino dealership reinforces our long-term strategy of concentrating on core business activities and exiting non-core activities. Milaha's remaining three business segments will remain structurally unchanged. You will have seen that we started reporting financials under this new structure starting this quarter.
In terms of the regional conflict, from the start of the war, the safety of our people was our top priority with operations spread across multiple locations, ensuring that every employee return home safely each day was our top priority. In parallel, we focused on maintaining and supporting supply chains to the State of Qatar and to our clients
