Lots of action around Shinas Port: A Omani and Indian consortium inked an agreement last year with MTCIT to develop, manage, and operate Shinas Port. Oman later launched a new maritime line linking Shinas Port to Iran’s Bandar Abbas Port in August. Oman’s Sohar Port and Freezone also inked an agreement to set up a vessel servicing at the port with Al Risia Subsea Engineering & Service, Gulf Global Land & Sea Services, and National Marine Services.
