Located on the world’s fastest growing and busiest
shipping lane, Salalah Port - which is managed by the AP
Moller Group - is the regional hub for several global
shipping lines.
The construction of two additional berths and a new
3.5km breakwater will allow the port to handle
approximately 4.4 million TEU per annum, and up to eight
container ships at once. The port also has some of the
largest container-handling cranes in the world.
In fact, with maritime trade having increased by
400-500% over the last two decades, the economies of
scale makes it essential for large container ships to
move between Super Hubs like Salalah, which is the only
port between Europe and Singapore that can accommodate
S-Class vessels, the world’s largest container ships.
Today, Salalah is among the world’s fastest growing
cargo transhipment ports, and is fully geared to act as
the entry and exit point for much of the Free
Zone-related cargo - whether container, general cargo,
bulk, oil, gas, liquid, or Roll On Roll Off cargo. For
businesses at the Salalah Free Zone- the advantage of
this synergy is unmistakable. |
