Oman's Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology has awarded two key  projects related to roads and ports infrastructure.

 

These agreements were signed by Engineer Said Hamoud Al Ma’awali, Minister of Transport, Communications and Information Technology with officials of Manji International Ports and Omani Integrated Logistic Services (ILS Oman). 

 

The first one was with regard to boosting the ports sector by investing in the design, construction, management, and operation of a port for transporting quarry products in the Wilayat of Shaleem W’Al Halaniyat Islands.

 

The second one involved devising an investment framework for the operation, management and development of ship supply and crew change activities at Port Sultan Qaboos.

 

Under this project, ILS Oman will help achieve the ministry’s plans to develop Omani ports, enhance the role of Port Sultan Qaboos in consolidating the maritime sector and accelerate development at the port by attracting commercial activities that align with its primary function as a tourist destination.-
