The Port of Salalah, the largest port in Oman, broke its all-time monthly volume record when it carried 4 million TEU in December 2019, according to a statement from APM Terminals (APMT).

During 2019, the port secured a number of strategic customers and increased its product offering. This will not only contribute to continued volume growth but also to the diversity of cargo handled by the port. Securing these customers will make a significant contribution to ongoing efforts to support economic diversification and increase economic value for Oman. 

The port also achieved numerous milestones in productivity this year and as part of its digital transformation, has successfully deployed N4, a state-of-the-art Terminal Operating System (TOS).

The record included a 19% year-on-year increase volume, and was driven by traffic diverted from neighbouring that were badly affected by Cyclone Mekunu in December 2018.

“We are proud of the achievement of the team,” says Mr. Mark Hardiman, CEO of Port of Salalah.

“Our success is testament to the confidence and continued support that the the Port receives from the Government of Oman and its customers, and to the Port’s employees whose commitment has been critical in reaching this important milestone.”
