During the passage we were in many ports, but I will describe the first one.

Port of Salalah is a world class transshipment hub in the West Central Asia Region. Situated right at the major East-West shipping lanes, Salalah enjoys an attractive strategic location in the heart of the Indian Ocean Rim and caters to some of the world’s largest ocean going vessels.

Every port in the world has to keep pace with fewer but much larger shipping lines and the concentration of cargo into bigger vessels that are able to utilize just a few key hub ports.

Whilst the adage in transshipment “location, location, location” still holds true, it takes a port with location, technology, innovation, productivity and a dynamic management to succeed today.

Expansions continue and with focus on growth, innovation and commitment to their customers, the Port of Salalah is prepared for the future.

Situated at the major East-West shipping lane, the Port of Salalah provides the region’s best location in order to access the Middle East the Indian Subcontinent, East Africa and the Indian Ocean Island with over 2.5 billion consumers.
