Asyad Ports inaugurates new container terminal at Port of Duqm, Oman

Asyad Ports, the ports and terminals arm of Oman-based Asyad Group, has kicked off operations at its new container terminal at the Port of Duqm.

Equipped with four remotely operated 65-tonne twin lift ship-to-shore (STS) cranes and 12 50-tonne rubber-tyred gantry (RTG) cranes, Asyad Container Terminal consists of three berths with a quay length of over 1,000 m and a yard storage capacity of 26,000 teu and over 600 reefers.

To test the terminal’s readiness in the pilot stage the loads of two very large container ships inbound from Asia and Europe were reshipped on different lines.
