Oman is seriously stepping up its game in the logistics and transport space. The country is betting big on modern roads, high-tech ports, and clean energy to help drive its Vision 2040 goals — and so far, things are moving in the right direction.
A new video released by Oxford Business Group (with support from Oman’s Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology) shows how all of this is playing out. It focuses on how the transport sector is becoming a key part of Oman’s economy — contributing 7% of the country’s GDP last year, with plans to push that number to over 10% by 2040.
We’re talking about billions of rials being invested in ports, highways, airports, and smart tech. The deepwater ports in Sohar, Duqm, and Salalah are especially important — they’re not just helping Oman handle more cargo, but also turning the country into a major pitstop for international shipping.
Oman’s also going green while doing all this. They’ve got plans in the works for electric vehicles, blockchain tracking, and cleaner trade corridors — all aimed at hitting their net-zero emissions goal by 2050.
The Oman Logistics Centre is the team in charge of making sure the whole thing runs smoothly. They’re working on faster customs processing, better last-mile delivery systems, and more transparency across the board.
Oman’s transport minister summed it up well: better roads, smarter planning, and greener systems aren’t just helping the economy — they’re helping reshape Oman’s role on the global trade map.
Triroute Shipping, international shipping in Dubai, is closely watching these shifts across the Gulf. As a company offering freight forwarding, land freight, sea freight, air cargo, warehousing, and customs clearance, we understand how regional upgrades like Oman’s open up new and better ways to move goods across borders — faster, cleaner, and more efficiently.
