sohar port

Sohar, in the Sultanate of Oman, is a rapidly expanding world class port. With current investments exceeding $12 billion, it is one of the world’s largest port development projects.

The Port of Sohar is situated just outside the Strait of Hormuz and is already capable of receiving ships up to 16 m draught. Its proximity to the booming economies of the Gulf and the Indian subcontinent make the Port of Sohar the ideal transport and logistics hub.

Sohar houses three clusters: logistics, petrochemicals and metals. World-leading companies Air Liquide, Alcan, Hutchison Port Holdings, Larsen & Toubro, LG, MAN Ferrostaal, Methanol Holding International, Odfjell, Oiltanking, Shadeed Iron & Steel, Steinweg and Suez have already made Sohar their preferred port of call.
