Work on the Oman Oil Marketing Company’s bunkering facility at Duqm Port is likely to start after June following the completion of the design phase, a report said.

Design for the $50 million project is in the final stages and is likely to be completed by June, said the report in Oman Tribune.

The bunkering facility will meet the fuel oil and marine diesel oil demands of the ships that call at Duqm Port.

The project’s engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract is expected to be tendered in the third quarter of the year, the report said quoting sources close to the project.
