The Duqm–Khalifa Port Green Corridor delivers integrated multimodal transport solutions and is gaining traction, with cargo volumes handled at Duqm Port continuing to increase

Duqm, Oman, 14 Nov 2026 - Asyad Group, the global integrated logistics provider, has successfully operationalized the Duqm–Khalifa Port Green Corridor, establishing a seamless multimodal trade route linking Oman with the United Arab Emirates and the broader regional markets.

With regular weekly volumes already moving through Asyad Container Terminal in Duqm and continued growth expected, the corridor strengthens the port’s position as a strategic gateway for regional trade. It also supports the integration of transport and logistics networks between the Sultanate of Oman and GCC markets.

The Duqm–Khalifa Port Green Corridor has been designed to provide an integrated trade route combining container handling and road transport within a seamlessly connected operational network. Cargo arriving at Duqm port is transported via the Khatmat Shakla border to Al Ain Dry Port, culminating at Abu Dhabi’s Khalifa Port for wider GCC distribution.

These operations are backed by a harmonized cross-border customs framework that streamlines transit procedures and minimises cargo dwell times at handling and border points, enhancing trade flow efficiency. This framework also provides cargo owners with greater flexibility in managing shipping and distribution operations, while supporting more efficient utilisation of operational resources and smoother cargo movement between markets.

With weekly cargo movements through Asyad Container Terminal at Duqm becoming firmly established and volumes expected to grow further, the corridor is strengthening Duqm Port’s position as a strategic logistics gateway on global east–west trade routes. Its geographic advantage, advanced infrastructure and operational capabilities enable the port to accommodate large vessels and handle container traffic efficiently, while its connectivity to regional transport, logistics and distribution networks further enhances its reach across markets.

Commenting on the corridor, Al Khattab Al Maani, Commercial Vice President, Asyad Ports, said: “Global trade is evolving rapidly, placing greater demands on supply chain resilience, operational integration and speed to market. The Duqm–Khalifa Port Green Corridor further strengthens the trade connectivity Asyad Group is building by bringing together port capabilities, road transport networks and cross-border logistics solutions within an integrated offering. We are seeing growing uptake of this route, reflecting the increasing importance of flexible, end-to-end transport solutions that respond to the needs of our partners and cargo owners while creating new opportunities for trade between Oman and GCC markets.”

The Duqm–Khalifa Port Green Corridor forms part of Asyad Group’s expanding network of integrated trade corridors connecting Omani ports with regional markets. This network includes green corridors linking Duqm Port with several GCC markets, including Qatar and Saudi Arabia, alongside corridors developed from Sohar Port to strengthen Oman’s connectivity with the wider Gulf. Together, these routes bring port infrastructure, road transport and cross-border logistics and customs capabilities into a coordinated network, offering greater choice and flexibility for cargo movement across the region.

Asyad Group continues to expand its integrated trade corridor network, connecting Omani ports with maritime shipping routes, road transport systems and regional markets. This approach strengthens supply chain connectivity and reinforces Oman’s position as a regional and global logistics hub, in line with Oman Vision 2040 and its ambitions to enhance the logistics sector’s contribution to economic diversification and strengthen Oman’s readiness to respond to evolving global trade dynamics.
