The Sultanate’s ports have been rated as No. 1 in the world in terms of speed of container handling as per United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) annual index 2020.

The index, issued recently about the development of maritime transport asserts that container vessels’ stay in the Sultanate’s ports averaged only 12.5 hours.

The accomplishment caps the efforts undertaken by Asyad and partners in the public and private sectors to facilitate procedures in ports and introduce many world-class electronic solutions.

It also comes in implementation of the National Logistics Strategy 2040 aimed to make the Sultanate a global logistics hub.
