ASYAD GROUP EXECUTES HIGH-PRECISION TRANSPORT OF ULTRA-HEAVY CRYOGENIC TANK FROM INDIA TO KSA HIGHLIGHTING CROSS-BORDER LOGISTICS EXPERTISE

• Asyad Group completes the international transport of a 115 metric ton pressurized cryogenic tank from Northern India to Dammam, Saudi Arabia • The journey involved a 1,500 km overland segment to Mumbai port, followed by maritime shipping to KSA • The operation reflects Asyad Group's capabilities in handling critical, sensitive cargo with strict adherence to safety and compliance standards MUSCAT, Oman, Aug. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Asyad Group, Oman's global integrated logistics provider, has successfully completed a high-precision breakbulk operation, transporting an ultra-heavy liquefied natural gas (LNG) cryogenic tank for Gas Lab Asia, moving the cargo from Northern India to Dammam, Saudi Arabia. The operation reflects the Group's strong presence in delivering integrated logistics solutions for high-value, specialized projects. The operation involved transporting a 115 metric ton pressurized tank, 28 meters in length and 5.5 meters in height. The cargo was hauled overland for 1,500 kilometers from Northern India to Mumbai port over a period of three weeks before being shipped across the Arabian Sea to its final destination in Dammam, KSA. Commenting on the achievement, said Juma Al Maskari, Asyad Logistics Director said "Transporting this type of specialized cargo requires a high level of technical expertise, along with advanced operational coordination across countries. Our strategy in such projects demonstrates our ability to mobilize international resources across borders and efficiently manage high-value shipments through customized logistics solutions tailored to precise operational requirements." The challenges of this operation stemmed from the sensitive nature of cryogenic gas storage tanks, which demand precise temperature and pressure control. Specialized equipment and custom handling where essential throughout the entire process. The entire move meticulously executed through detailed engineering assessments, route planning, compliance checks and last-mile coordination to ensure safety, integrity and efficiency at every stage. This achievement further solidifies Asyad Group's growing record in executing precise logistics project across the GCC and South Asia. It also reinforces its position as a trusted partner for high-value & sensitive cargo movement, while advancing Oman Vision 2040 by strengthening the Sultanate's logistics infrastructure and positioning it as a globally competitive hub.

The TopBrand 2025 'Top 500 Global Brands list' has been released, with Microsoft ranking first.

SHENZHEN, China, Aug. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The 19th China Brand Festival has been successfully held in Shenzhen from August 7–11, 2025. This year's theme is "AI and Global Expansion." A total of 10,000 guests have been gathered in the city of innovation to participate in parallel forums, the Brand Expo, the Entrepreneurs' Sports Games, Brand Leaders Face-to-Face sessions, and other events. More than 2,000 people attended the opening ceremony. During the event, the TopBrand Union released the TopBrand 2025 "Top 500 Global Brands list", now in its fourth year. Microsoft ranked first with a brand value of USD 1,062.505 billion, followed by NVIDIA in second place with USD 1,046.760 billion, and Apple in third with USD 997.685 billion. Amazon, Alphabet (Google), Saudi Aramco, Walmart, Meta (Facebook), Berkshire Hathaway, and Broadcom ranked fourth to tenth, respectively. PetroChina ranked 14th, making it the highest-valued Chinese brand. Dr. Wang Yong, Chairman of TopBrand Union and President of the China Brand Festival, noted that in the recently released "Fortune 2025 Global 500 list", China had 130 companies on the list, just eight fewer than the United States. However, in this TopBrand 2025 "Top 500 Global Brands" ranking, the number of Chinese companies is less than half that of the United States. This shows there is still a significant gap between the brand influence of Chinese companies and their economic strength, and much work remains to be done.
