Dubai-Oman corridor moves US$2.2bn cargo since launch

The ‘Green Corridor’ between Dubai and Oman has moved goods worth over $2.2 billion since March, as cargo shifted quickly to land routes during shifteing trends in the Middle East. The number of shipments and customs filings jumped sharply within weeks.

His Excellency Dr. Abdulla Busenad, Director General of Dubai Customs, said the Green Corridor provides a practical model for future regional integration frameworks by connecting markets and strengthening logistics resilience through alternative trade routes capable of maintaining cargo flows during emergencies affecting traditional shipping lanes.

The route is helping businesses bypass delays on key sea lanes. Cargo arriving in Oman is moved by road into Dubai, keeping supply chains running when shipping routes face pressure. This has helped maintain steady flow of essential goods such as food and medicines.

The corridor also offers more routing options. Companies can divert shipments through Oman and avoid congested ports, instead of waiting for normal shipping lines to clear. This supports both local distribution and re-export cargo. Set up within days of the disruptions, the corridor shows how alternate land routes can keep trade moving when traditional routes are hit.
