Asyad Group reaffirmed its pivotal role in shaping the Sultanate of Oman’s logistics future by participating in the Logistics Day 2025 organized by the Ministry of Transport, Communications, and Information Technology.
During the event, Asyad presented a paper titled “Asyad’s Role in Empowering Oman’s Logistics Sector: Growth, Resilience, and Opportunities,” highlighting the pillars of its
comprehensive strategy to develop a globally connected logistics network, expand its footprint across international markets, empower local private-sector players, and unlock
opportunities for Omani talent. The presentation also shed light on the Group’s 2024 milestones: a pivotal year marked by its first international acquisition.
Asyad Ports and Freezones signed an agreement with O Bunkring Company to deliver bunker fuel services at Sultan Qaboos Port, enhancing Oman’s maritime readiness and attracting new commercial activities.
SOHAR Port and Freezone signed three major agreements to support the development of its LNG terminal. The port partnered with WSP Middle East – Oman for engineering consultancy and project management services, Boskalis for dredging 3.8 million cubic meters of marine material, and Six Construct for constructing the LNG jetty and coastal protection infrastructure.
SOHAR Port and Freezone also received national recognition at the Ministry’s Logistics Best Practices Awards. The “Marasi” Port Management System won first place in the
Continuous Improvement and Innovation category after achieving 90% digitalization in maritime operations and reducing paperwork by 85% through smart operating tools. The
port also secured second place in the Net Zero category for pioneering the use of biodiesel produced from recycled cooking oil, in marine tugboats, a first for any port in
the Middle East.
Mwasalat signed two strategic agreements. These included a first-and-last-mile service development initiative connecting micro-mobility to public transport in select higher education institutions, in Muscat and Salalah, in partnership with the University of Technology and Applied Sciences; and an agreement to develop an integrated public transport station in North Al Batinah in coordination with the Office of the Governor of North Al Batinah.
