All stakeholders in the Sultanate of Oman working collectively to ease situation
The management team at SOHAR Port and Freezone has affirmed the continuation of its business operations, despite the current health crisis surrounding the outbreak of Covid-19.
In a press communication, the SOHAR team declared it has increased efforts to ensure an uninterrupted flow of operations and a continued supply to the local market. SOHAR has activated its business continuity plan, while also adhering to the health and safety directives mandated by the Supreme Committee, throughout all its Port and Freezone facilities.
“This strategy supports the efficient and effective handling of shipping goods and operations, allowing for a smooth flow of logistic operations while continuing to supply the markets with its required needs,” stressed Batti Bin Mohamed Al Shibli, Harbour Master, SOHAR.
“I also believe that the high inflow of work is due to the influx of demand, which means we are playing our part in bringing in added value to Oman’s import and export sector. Moreover, it is important to highlight the high-level collaboration between various entities in both the private and public sectors,” Al Shibli concluded.
SOHAR Port and Freezone is recognised as a key logistics hub in the Sultanate, with a majority of good coming via the Port to be distributed within the local market.
Over the past few weeks, SOHAR activated its business continuity plan, together with the support of ASYAD, Oman’s flagship logistics group, the Directorate General of Customs, Royal Oman Police and the Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
