    By on February 20, 2022

    Duqm: In line with the official inauguration of Port of Duqm, Asyad Ports-Duqm is set to commence the operation and management of the general cargo terminal that includes three commercial berths in Port of Duqm, following Asyad Group’s strategy to enhance the competitiveness of Omani ports and maximize their investment and economic returns, as underpinned by Omani Logistics Strategy (SOLS) 2040.

    Asyad Terminals-Duqm, established through a partnerships between Asyad Ports and Port of Duqm, will manage and operate three berths in Port of Duqm, which can accommodate the largest container ships and very large crude carriers to serve customers and trade partners. The first one is a multi-use general cargo berth with a capacity of about 1 million TEUs per annum, the second is a built cargo berth offering a capacity of almost 5M TEUs per annum, while the third is a Ro-Ro vessels berth. These berths will consequently absorb the anticipated growth in ships traffic and cargo operations, ramp up trade via Port of Duqm with international ports, provide exporters and suppliers of local and global business communities with rapid solutions, and meet SEZAD’s economic projects requirements.

    “This significant milestone, which translates the pillars and objectives of Oman 2040 Vision, gives to national operators priority of managing large Omani ports and associated logistics services, and optimizing the use of port equipment and facilities to promote national exports and Oman’s economic growth”, stated Sheikh Nasser Bin Sulaiman Al-Harthy, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Asyad Group.
