Oman rail first section from Dhofar to Duqm

MUSCAT, April 8, 2017

The first section of Oman’s railway will be constructed from Shuwaymiyah in Dhofar to Duqm, said the head of the logistics section of  National Program for Enhancing Economic Diversification (Tanfeedh).

Sulaiman Al Shaqsi, who is also head of logistics at Petroleum Development Oman (PDO), was quoted by Muscat Daily as saying the route had been chosen due to the mineral resources that could be exported through Duqm port.

He was speaking at the Downstream Oman conference recently.

Shaqsi also confirmed that Oman’s road to Saudi Arabia is now complete and authorities are waiting for the last two per cent of Saudi Arabia’s side to be constructed.
