Ports Of Oman

Port Sultan Qaboos



Port Sultan Qaboo, Oman's premier maritime gateway, enjoys a prime location in the politically stable Sultanate of Oman. Situated in a natural harbour 250 Kilometers south of the Strait of Hormuz on the Indian Ocean coast of the Arabian Peninsula. Port Sultan Qaboos' location makes it an ideal hub, not only for the Arabian Gulf but also the Indian Sub-continent and markets in East and South Africa.

The location of Port Sultan Qaboos offers considerable savings in steaming time when compared to other ports. The port's tariff compares very favorably with others across the region. The already impressive infrastructure, skilled manpower, fast and efficient handling operations and documentation clearance system in PSC will be further enhanced this year.



The aim of the port authority is to provide efficient and effective services to satisfy all customers and port users, make maximum use of resources, provide the best facilities to encourage import and export cargo and also attract transshipment, particularly container transshipment.




Port Sultan Qaboos' maintenance workshops equipped with a wide array of vehicles and equipment and specialized teams of engineers, mechanics and technicians, enable the Port to ensure the smooth running of Oman's premier maritime gateway.

Port of Salalah





Port of Salalah is a world class transshipment hub in the West Central Asia Region. Situated right at the major East-West shipping lanes, Salalah enjoys an attractive strategic location in the heart of the Indian Ocean Rim and caters to some of the world’s largest ocean going vessels.





Every port in the world has to keep pace with fewer but much larger shipping lines and the concentration of cargo into bigger vessels that are able to utilize just a few key hub ports.

Whilst the adage in transshipment “location, location, location” still holds true, it takes a port with location, technology, innovation, productivity and a dynamic management to succeed today.
Expansions continue and with focus on growth, innovation and commitment to our customers, the Port of Salalah is prepared for the future.
