what happened
The Public Authority for Special Economic Zones and Free Zones (OPAZ) has opened a workshop in Muscat aimed at improving operations at the Port of Duqm, reducing cargo delays and identifying investment projects that could expand trade through the port. The event, running until November 15, brings together more than 100 participants from 21 government and private-sector organisations.
Participants will review operational, investment and regulatory obstacles and draft implementation plans with assigned responsibilities, deadlines and key performance indicators. The discussions cover nine tracks, including service projects, investment projects and general enablers.
