Sohar attracts serious investment

19 years ago

The port of Sohar in Oman has attracted $12bn of industrial and infrastructure investment in under three years, prompting its corporate communications manager Dirk-Jan de Vink to note that it was now the fastest-growing port project in the world.

Apart from its new container terminal, the port also has logistics and value added parks, as well as dry bulk industries and one of the deepest drafts in the region. It should therefore eventually develop into a regional mega-hub.
