Asyad Group and CMA CGM Group are moving ahead with a USD 400 million multipurpose logistics terminal in Sohar under a framework agreement to develop, manage and operate the Omani facility, according to CMA CGM.
The agreement, signed during the official visit of His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik to France, gives the two groups a structure for long-term cooperation in Oman’s port and logistics sector.
The project is aimed at expanding integrated logistics and supply-chain services at Sohar, lifting cargo-handling volumes and strengthening Omani port links with global shipping networks and international markets.
CMA CGM said the terminal is also intended to support new regional and international trade corridors and improve operational efficiency across the region.

Its maritime fleet numbers more than 100 vessels, with services to more than 90 destinations and connections to more than 200 commercial ports.
