US$ 400m Sohar hub to link sea and land transport

France’s CMA CGM and Oman’s Asyad Group will develop a $400 million logistics terminal at Sohar Port to improve cargo movement and strengthen regional trade links across the Gulf. The project will focus on improving the flow of goods between sea and land transport systems.

The terminal will support better connectivity between ports and inland routes, helping freight move more smoothly across key regional corridors. It is designed to improve how cargo is handled and transferred within integrated logistics networks.

For the logistics sector, the project adds capacity at Sohar Port and improves efficiency in cargo transfer between shipping and inland transport. It also supports more balanced use of transport routes by linking different modes of freight movement more effectively.

“The future terminal would support ‘reliable inland access to key trade corridors’ as well as ‘greater resilience and efficiency for our customers’ supply chains,’” said Rodolphe Saadé, Chairman and CEO of CMA CGM.

The investment also reflects growing use of multimodal logistics systems that combine sea and land transport to improve speed and reliability in cargo movement. Sohar Port is being developed further as a key logistics hub connecting regional and international trade flows.
