Oman's rail project to become a reality

Oman’s first mineral railway project in Al Wusta Governorate is only one step away, according to a top logistics official.
“The project should be completed four years after awarding the tender to an investor and signing the agreement. Several procedures related to the railway project have been completed, including the preparation of a study, licences and the project sketch.” - Nabil Al Bimani, Group Chief, Ports and Free Zones at Asyad Groups
According to Implementation Support and Follow-up Unit , by 2020, the logistics sector will increase its contribution to the Sultanate’s GDP to OMR2 billion.
The number of jobs will also increase from 67,469 in 2016 to 100,000, and investment will increase by at least OMR1 billion.
