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

Oman: Khazaen Port joins CMA CGM network as a'final destination'
Khazaen Dry Port, a subsidiary of Asyad Group, has joined the global shipping network "CMA CGM," enabling the port to become an approved final destination for receiving containers. This move enhances the port's integration with international shipping lines and opens broader horizons for local importers and exporters to benefit from a more efficient and flexible global distribution network. The port recently received its first container shipment under this global network, arriving from international ports via Sohar Port as a transit hub. Customs clearance and handling procedures were completed directly at Khazaen Port, thanks to its advanced operational readiness and cutting-edge technical infrastructure. Khazaen Dry Port offers numerous operational advantages that support local and international trade, including free storage periods of up to 14 days for loaded containers and 21 days for empty containers. It also provides advanced services for refrigerated containers, including electrical hookup and pre-trip inspection, as well as on-site food and agricultural inspection facilities, accelerating the entry of goods into local markets and enhancing supply chain efficiency. This achievement reflects the success of a strategic partnership between Asyad Group, represented by Asyad Ports and Free Zones, and the global "CMA CGM" Group. The service was activated through a flexible customs corridor developed in collaboration with the Royal Oman Police (ROP) Customs Department. This corridor allows containers to be transported using a "shipping agent's seal" without traditional customs sealing procedures, with the option of a "written financial guarantee" as an alternative to bank guarantees. This reduces costs for operators, encourages direct connectivity, and improves logistical efficiency. 2025 © All right reserved for Oman Establishment for Press, Publication and Advertising (OEPPA) Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc.
