Israeli firm's role in winning energy bid catches Yemen off guard

CAIRO — An Israeli subcontractor was said to have joined a winning energy consortium in Yemen. However the Yemenis are denying that could have happened.   

Israel's Starlims was said to have been selected as part of a $1 billion natural gas project. The company was said to have been contracted by Yemen's state-owned liquefied natural gas monopoly to supply software for the establishment of energy laboratories.

"There is no chance the bid was given to an Israeli executor," a spokesman for the Yemeni prime contractor said.

"Dozens of companies are participating in Yemen's natural gas project, but none of them is Israeli."

Starlims, with headquarters in Tel Aviv, was said to have been partnered with a company from the United Arab Emirates. Starlims, which has not confirmed the report, was also said to have offices in Hong Kong.
