The Sultanate of Oman has officially launched the ‘Unified Guide for Warehouse Standards and Requirements’. Developed in collaboration with the Ministry of Transport, Communications and IT as well as the Ministerial Committee for the Development and Enhancement of the Logistics System and Border Crossings, this guide marks a milestone in warehouse management. Oman’s geographical location has been a cornerstone of its role as a crucial logistics hub linking Asia, Europe and Africa. Recent investments in infrastructure, such as modernising ports in Suhar and Salalah, expanding airport capacities, and improving road networks, have strengthened Oman’s logistics capabilities. This guide sets out standards to improve efficiency, safety and sustainability in warehouses across Oman. It covers an array of warehouse management aspects, including tailored designs for different materials, optimal storage capacities, efficient operational workflows and robust safety and environmental protocols. By standardising these practices, Oman aims to raise industry standards, ensure adherence to global best practices, and strengthen competitiveness in the global logistics arena. In addition to launching the guide, recent strides in Oman’s logistics sector include ongoing efforts to streamline regulations and attract foreign investment.
