Duqm

Description

On Oman’s long southeastern coastline lies the port city of Duqm. The port directly faces the waters of the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean beyond that. Given Duqm’s strategic location, the authorities are hoping it will serve as a safe-haven for oceangoing vessels to refuel, make emergency stops, and carry out maintenance operations—to say nothing of the port’s potential to create a hub-and-spoke maritime logistics system.

This 20-page special report, supported by the Public Authority for Special Economic Zones and Free Zones (OPAZ), features interviews with Duqm’s top movers and shakers, as well as news and analysis.
