Khazaen Port links with Suhar via customs corridor
MUSCAT: Khazaen Dry Port, part of the Asyad Group, has been accredited as a terminal for receiving containers from international ports and has launched a secure customs corridor with SOHAR Port and Freezone to enhance integration across Oman's port network and boost supply chain efficiency. The corridor marks a major step in improving the import, export and re-export system for the private sector, enabling traders and investors to move goods more smoothly in a secure customs environment. This will reduce operational costs, improve logistics performance and give Omani firms easier access to global markets. The project features an advanced customs system that allows clearance from a single station at Khazaen Dry Port, using a shipping agent's lead instead of traditional sealing and accepting written guarantees. These measures save time and effort, improving the user experience. This initiative reflects Asyad Group's commitment to facilitating cross-border trade and aligning with global best practices, supporting growth in Oman's commercial and logistics sectors. Khazaen Dry Port CEO Saad Bait Naseeb said the development is a milestone in Oman's logistics environment, offering greater efficiency and reliability for investors and reinforcing Oman's role as a strategic trade gateway linking the region to the world. He stressed that Khazaen Dry Port will continue innovating advanced solutions that support Oman Vision 2040 and create new opportunities for trade and investment growth. — ONA
