Oman Freight Transport Report 2016 - New Market Report

Volumes handled on Oman's freight transport network are set to enjoy strong growth over the coming years. The sector will benefit not only from a rapidly growing economy, and consumer base, but also from sizeable investment. This will not only benefit the sector directly, through the construction of a new railway line, investment in airports, and new terminals at the country's ports, but will also develop industries heavily reliant on the freight network system. An example of this is Vale's iron ore pelletising plant at Sohar, which generates considerable traffic of dry bulk ships at the port of Sohar.

Headline Industry Data

2015 tonnage throughput at Salalah is forecast to reach 9.39mn tonnes on growth of 7.9%, with growth to average 7.6% to 2019.
2015 total tonnage throughput at Sohar is forecast to reach 59.38mn tonnes, year-on-year (y-o-y) growth of 12.3%. Growth over the medium term to average 11.8%, thanks in part to the transfer of operations from Sultan Qaboos.
