Al Nowras Logistics Solutions – Heavy Lifting Cargo in Oman
Al Nowras Logistics Solutions has become one of the GCC’s premier logistics firms since 2007, specializing in custom clearance and shipping goods between GCC countries through Road, Air or Sea freight options.
Oman’s logistics industry is an integral component of its economic development, creating jobs and opening up opportunities for its citizens. Highly regulated regulations ensure goods arrive safely at their destinations quickly, safely, and cost-effectively.
Logistics in Oman
Logistics industry plays an essential role in Oman’s economy. It acts as an agent that brings businesses of various sizes across Oman together and assists them to realize their full potential profits, as well as playing an instrumental role in increasing foreign investment into Oman. Oman boasts two major water bodies – Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean, providing ample opportunity for international business transportation services. The logistics sector in Oman boasts extensive potential growth thanks to this strategic location at both points.
The government of Oman has devised an ambitious plan to transform its logistics sector. The Sultanate of Oman Logistics Strategy 2040 (SOLS 2040) seeks to make Oman one of the top logistics hubs worldwide while at the same time developing it into an advanced logistical destination by improving ports, airports, public transportation services, shipping companies and roads.
Oman’s logistics sector is experiencing rapid expansion thanks to new companies offering innovative services such as cold chains, warehousing, added value services and cargo freight stations. Furthermore, plans exist to build Khazaen Economic City outside Muscat as a logistics-led development with factories and free zones which will boost Oman’s logistics industry by connecting hinterland free zones to seaports and airports, creating jobs and encouraging entrepreneurship within this sector.
Break Bulk Cargo in Oman
Shipping products to Oman requires careful preparation, including knowledge of its import/export laws and customs regulations. A reliable freight shipping company can help avoid complications by offering comprehensive services from start to finish; from picking up products at their source (your home, warehouse or business site) through packing them properly for transportation to clearing customs clearance paperwork for customs clearance – they have it all covered!
No matter if it’s heavy equipment, large machinery, or high-value household goods, cargo must be handled with special care to reach its destination safely and on schedule. This type of cargo – known as break bulk – accounts for a significant share of logistics industry revenue in major logistical hubs like Dubai.
Air freight shipping is often the best choice for transporting break bulk cargo to Oman, as it offers faster transit times and superior cargo security. However, it may be more expensive than other shipping options; sea freight offers an economical solution with longer transit times; when selecting this method it is important to consider both volume and weight when choosing container size (typically measured in cubic feet/meters and kilograms/pounds respectively).
Heavy lift cargo needs the assistance of experienced experts for safe shipment. Heavy lift services may be more cost-effective than air or ocean shipping in regions with developed road infrastructure; additionally they provide reliable service over shorter distances and can easily be tracked. E-commerce businesses should ensure their freight complies with local regulations as well as any potential threats that might compromise its safety during shipment.
Since 2007, Al Nowras Logistics has become one of the GCC’s premier logistic firms with an established history spanning more than 15 years. Specializing in Custom clearance and shipping of goods between Oman, UAE and other GCC countries via road transport, this firm offers services including container, bulk and project cargo transport; pre-carriage routes surveying; as well as pre-carriage/route surveys to identify any hazards or potential obstacles along the route.
Recently, Oman Shifting and Transportation managed the shifting and transportation of a 254-ton well fluid slug catcher from Nizwa in southeast Oman to Duqm Port with precision, including conducting detailed route surveys as well as devising transport, stability, lashing, lifting plans with centimeter precision for the cargo with centimeter accuracy. Furthermore, full civil work plans were drawn up to address any challenges on route while minimising costs and time delays.
Road Transport in Oman
Road transport in Oman is an integral component of its national transportation infrastructure, playing an essential role in trade facilitation. To facilitate trade growth and facilitate economic expansion, the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTCIT) has overseen significant upgrades to Oman’s highway network.
Oman boasts three expressway-grade highways, such as the Al Batinah Coastal Road which follows along the western coastline of the Sea of Oman before forking near Shinas to offer routes both towards Wadi Hatta and Fujairah. MTCIT currently has various road projects underway such as Dibba-Lima-Khasab road, Harweeb-Al Mazyouna-Metin road expansion projects Raysut-Hamran-Muharraq Haima roads expansion projects as well as the Jaalan Bani Maali highway through Empty Quarter.
MTCIT has also initiated an ambitious effort to increase passenger transport capacities. Oman boasts four major airports: Muscat International, Salalah International, Sohar Airport and Duqm Airport; in addition to privatising its national bus and taxi networks.
Oman’s strategic location between MENA and Asian markets and positive regional diplomatic relationships provide significant potential for trade acceleration, which makes strengthening logistics capacities one of the main objectives of Oman’s SOLS 2040 objectives. Government-owned integrated logistics company Asyad plays an instrumental role in driving sector growth while contributing towards SOLS 2040 goals at all five ports – three deepwater and four non-deepwater ports within Oman are serviced by Asyad logistics services.
