Asyad’s Integrated Logistics Strengthens Duqm’s Connectivity to Global Markets
Asyad Group continues to enhance the strategic role of Duqm Port and its connectivity to regional and international markets through an integrated logistics ecosystem that brings together operations at Asyad Container Terminal in Duqm, the global network of Asyad Lines, and Asyad Shipping. This seamless integration boosts the efficiency of cargo flows to and from Oman’s ports and reinforces Duqm’s position as an open gateway to the Indian Ocean and major global trade routes.
Asyad Container Terminal at Duqm handled a shipment of Omani fisheries products to ports across South Asia aboard a container vessel operated by Asyad Shipping. The move underscores Duqm’s growing connectivity and Asyad’s role in facilitating Oman’s import–export activity and increasing its global competitiveness. This integrated model enhances schedule reliability and lead times, leveraging Duqm’s strategic location along the Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean routes.
Commenting on the milestone, Omar Mahmoud Al Mahrizi, CEO of Asyad Ports & Free Zones, said: “Our competitive edge lies in the power of integration linking marine operations and services with high-performance terminal handling. This end-to-end approach delivers a smoother supply chain from origin to destination and, in turn, elevates Duqm as a key waypoint on major shipping corridors between the GCC, India, and East Africa, while strengthening Oman’s standing as a global logistics hub.”
