Box volumes boost at Omani ports in 2022 first half

The Omani ports have reported growth in container volumes, as well as in general, liquid and dry bulk cargo, for the first six months of the year.

In particular, the country’s ports moved 2.58 million TEU in the first two quarters, which represents a 2% increase compared with the same period last year. This growth is mainly driven by the 2% increase in Salalah port’s box volume.

In the same period, Omani ports have achieved an estimated 5% increase in general, liquid and dry bulk cargo to reach 42.76 million tons compared to 40.61 million tons in 2021 first and second quarters.

However, the number of ships visiting the Omani ports has decreased slightly by 0.02% to 4,700 vessels, while the number of vehicles and heavy machinery has significantly dropped to 36,100.

“This decrease is caused by the global economic drawback of Covid-19 as well the increasing shipping prices globally,” stated Oman’s ministry of transport, communications and information technology (MTCIT).
