A new air-conditioned trailer to serve as a mobile canteen for Aramco employees assigned to the GOSP's in the 'Ain Dar, Shedgum and Buqqa areas was placed in service recently.

The mobile unit has 450 cubic feet of chilled-and-freeze space for storage of fresh produce, butter, frozen juices, and milk, and a wide variety of frozen meats and fish. More than 80 feet of shelving are available in the unit to accommodate a complete stock of grocery and canteen items.

The mobile canteen, which has its own diesel-powered electric plant, was built in Holland for use by the Retail Services section of Abqaiq Community Services Division.
