<\/strong>Omani port operator <\/strong>QS Maritime<\/a><\/strong> is planning to award a contract for the expansion of <\/strong>Shinas Port for <\/strong>OMR<\/strong> 77 mn (c. <\/strong>USD 200 mn<\/strong>)<\/strong>, CEO Abdulbaqi bin Ahmed Al Kindi told Oman News Agency<\/a> on Saturday. The construction is slated to begin before the end of 2025 and the project is reportedly expected to take between five and seven years to complete.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s in the cards?<\/strong> The project\u2019s first phase will involve expanding the port\u2019s current basin to the south and establishing a new northern breakwater to allow larger vessels to dock. The company expects to launch a sea route between Shinas Port and Iran\u2019s Bandar Abbas Port by 4Q 2025 that can accommodate 200 passengers with their vehicles.<\/p>\n

Part of an ongoing effort: <\/strong>QS Maritime has already expanded the port\u2019s square footage to 1.8 mn sqm in preparation for new projects, Al Kindi added. Shinas Port saw robust traffic growth in 1Q 2025, receiving 306 ships compared to 119 in the same period last year. The port\u2019s handling usually includes livestock, iron, cement, general cargo, and camels.<\/p>\n

The latest from the port:<\/strong> QS Maritime signed<\/a> an OMR 25 mn (c. USD 66 mn) agreement last year with Zuhoor Al Khaleej to build fuel tanks and manage supply and storage services at Shinas port. This followed the signing of an agreement<\/a> by a consortium of Omani and Indian firms with Oman\u2019s Transport, Communications, and Information Ministry to develop, manage, and operate Shinas Port in 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
