Oman Transport

Further progress towards the construction of a national rail network, along with long-awaited expansions in the port system, are highlighting Oman’s potential to become a lynchpin for commercial transport in the GCC. A special body will be set up within the Ministry of Transport and Communications to facilitate the installation of a new rail network in the Sultanate, Ahmed bin Mohammed Al Futaisi, the transport and communications minister, said.

Oman is pushing ahead with plans to deploy a nation-wide rail network, with this excepted to boost the economy by expanding logistics capacity and linking up the Sultanate’s ports and production centres.
