SOHAR Port and Free Zone in Oman has launched the Port Management Programme. The four-day programme aims to introduce SOHAR's infrastructure, business model and contributions to the economy to government stakeholders.
Participants will learn about SOHAR's strategic role in port management and will have the opportunity to examine international best practices. The highlight of the programme will be site visits to the facilities of leading companies in the iron and steel industry, such as Vale Oman. These visits will provide a better understanding of the journey of iron and steel, one of Oman's major export items, in global trade.
SOHAR Port manages 80 per cent of Oman's import and export activities, accounting for 38 per cent of the country's total trade with a trade volume of USD 43.6 billion. It also contributes 2.1 per cent to Oman's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and provides employment opportunities for approximately 36,000 people.
‘This initiative will contribute to sustainable growth while strengthening our ties with our business partners,’ said Mohammed Al Ismaili, Human Resources Manager at SOHAR Port, emphasising the importance of the programme.
SOHAR continues to modernise logistics infrastructure and support economic diversification in line with Oman's Vision 2040.
