1 Peter Kessler opened the meeting and informed us that
2 Sulaiman had gone to Port Rashid to check on deliveries and would
3 join us later. He then introduced
4 Jarek Gorsky, Ritterman’s new chief engineer in Warsaw, and emphasised
5 that the main objective of the meeting was to get the Dubai Project back
6 on schedule. Ernst suggested that
7 we skip item one on the agenda until Sulaiman could join us and went on
8 to outline the communication problems the two work teams had
9 been having. Peter recommended onsite training as a possible solution. Sulaiman
10 joined the meeting at this point and described
11 the situation at the ports as serious. He explained that
12 nothing was moving and that our back-up supplies were insufficient to cope with
13 the present situation. Karim reminded us that
14 constant changes to the building plan were also a major problem. Peter promised
15 to bring this to the client’s attention and that the contract with Al-Fulani
16 might have to be renegotiated. Ernst and Jarek agreed to
17 have another look at overall logistics and to report back to Peter. Another teleconference
18 was scheduled for next week.
