Shipping line APL and Oman’s Port of Salalah have joined forces to operate a new two-berth container terminal.
Expected to be completed in 2011, the terminal covers a 28-hectare deepsea facility with a total quay length of 700 metres and an annual capacity of 1.6m teu.
Port of Salalah has a 30-year concession to operate the port and also acts as the Port Authority. APM Terminals owns 30% of Port of Salalah, with public and private Omani interests owning the balance.
The JV will invest in super post panamax cranes and other container handling equipment and systems
