First BYD shipment reaches Gulf markets
The Duqm Port in Oman has welcomed its first ship belonging to the Chinese company "BYD," which is among the largest roll-on/roll-off ships in the world, with a capacity of approximately 9,200 vehicles. During its voyage, the ship carried 1,219 vehicles headed to Gulf Cooperation Council markets, including more than 200 vehicles destined for the Omani market, with the remaining cargo distributed to Kuwait and Qatar. This event showcases the port’s ability to handle large-capacity vessels and its efficiency in transporting vehicles, contributing to strengthening its role as a logistics hub connecting Asian markets with the region. It also supports Oman’s national economic diversification plan under Vision 2040. The port is equipped with a 2.2 km long wharf and a draft of up to 18 meters, capable of handling around 300,000 vehicles annually, further cementing its position as a key center for trade and logistics services in the area.
