Duqm port (port code: OMDQM) is the only port in the Sultanate, which is fully integrated within the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) enabling investors to reap the benefits of the operational and financial incentives offered by the Government of Oman. It is situated on the Gulf of Masirah, on the southeast coast of Oman, 500 kilometers south of Muscat. With its strategic geo-political position, the port is far removed from the Strait of Hormuz and the Arabian Gulf, making it a secure location for businesses and industries to thrive. Overlooking the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean beyond, Duqm port with its deep draft, lengthy quay walls, and expansive basin is a world-class, multipurpose commercial gateway and is poised to become one of the largest ports of the region in the near future.
Duqm port is part of the ambitious SEZAD project (Special Economic Zone Authority of Duqm) in the Sultanate of Oman. Established with the objective of diversifying the economy, the port is a Greenfield project and is fast emerging as a hub of economic activity due to its central location. It is being developed into an integrated, multimodal logistics hub, encompassing maritime links, a well-connected road network, and a fully operational airport and railway system making it a strategic strong hold.
