OmanPorts, Logistics Infrastructure

Overview
- Location
- Sohar, North Al Batinah Governorate, Oman
- Scale / Scope
- $1.7-1.8bn announced 2026 investment (genuine current range, preserved as such rather than collapsed to a single figure) covering 265 hectares of industrial/logistics leasing, targeting 4.5M TEU/year by 2028, against H1 2026 results already showing 52% cargo-throughput growth. A separate, larger $6.82bn cumulative historical investment figure is reported elsewhere and is NOT the same as this current-programme range — both preserved distinctly, not conflated. Terminal operators within the zone: Hutchison Ports (containers); C. Steinweg Oman (general cargo) and Advario Terminals (liquid bulk) preserved as editorial intelligence only, not created as records.
