SUR: A new fishermen’s marina project at Khor Al Hajar in the Wilayat of Sur was inaugurated under the auspices of Eng Yaqoub bin Khalfan al Busaidy, Under-Secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Water Resources for Fisheries.
The project was implemented with support from Oman LNG, at a total cost of RO 250,000.
