Sultanate of Oman, whom the Asyad shipping group represents, has launched a new direct shipping line. On Sunday, an Omani-owned container vessel reached the Port of Sohar via this new line, directly linking Sohar’s port to Malaysia and Singapore ports.

It would provide rapid, timely and cost-effective access to the ports of Singapore and would open many doors for further international business in Asian markets.

Port of Sohar witnessed a hike of 8.7% in cargo since the new line opened. It rose from 53.97 million tons of cargo last year to 58.64 million tons in 2021. it is expected to grow further with the new link launched.
