Oman will restart this international shipping container terminal


The Asyad Group has begun operations at Asyad Container Terminal-Duqm, which will be operated by Asyad Ports, the group's ports and terminals division.


Technically speaking, Asyad Container Terminal has advanced technologies such as remote operation of 65-ton double lifting STS crane,50-ton RTG crane, optical fiber data transmission system and intelligent driving system.


In addition, the terminal infrastructure includes three berths, which can handle three ships at the same time. The length of the terminal is over 1,000 meters, and the storage capacity of the yard is 26,000 TEU and more than 600 refrigerated containers.


During the pilot phase, the terminal effectively handled the cargo of large container ships from Asia and Europe, demonstrating its readiness and technical capability. This operational milestone shows that the terminal has the capacity to accommodate ships of various sizes and uses and meet the increasing demand of local, regional and global import and export activities.


Duqm Special Economic Zone Acting CEO Ahmed Akaak stressed the importance of the new terminal to Oman's economic diversification efforts. He stressed that the joint venture would unlock investment opportunities by linking the Duqm Special Economic Zone with global shipping companies and taking advantage of Duqm's strategic position at the crossroads of major international shipping corridors.


Duqm Port is expected to develop into an important logistics hub in the next few years, meeting the needs of global shipping companies from Asia and Europe, reflecting Oman's increased competitiveness and the success of port integration.
