Financial Times: Land Transportation Cannot Replace Hormuz; Sohar Port Strengthens Position as Logistics Hub
Reaffirming that land transportation via bridges and roads cannot replace maritime navigation through the Strait of Hormuz in terms of efficiency and cost, logistics experts pointed out that rising costs, delays caused by congestion, and security tensions in the region make maritime navigation the more sustainable option. Amid ongoing geopolitical developments, the French company CMA-CGM signed an agreement with Omani group Asyad to develop a logistics facility at the Port of Sohar with an investment of $400 million, aiming to strengthen the port's role as an alternative and secure hub in the region. Despite the recovery of shipping activity in the Gulf, experts expect companies to rely on multimodal transportation systems to achieve greater flexibility in facing future disruptions.
