About The Company

Port of Salalah is a world class transshipment hub in the West Central Asia Region. Situated right at the major East-West shipping lanes, Salalah enjoys an attractive strategic location in the heart of the Indian Ocean Rim and caters to some of the world’s largest ocean going vessels.

Every port in the world has to keep pace with fewer but much larger shipping lines and the concentration of cargo into bigger vessels that are able to utilize just a few key hub ports.

Whilst the adage in transshipment “location, location, location” still holds true, it takes a port with location, technology, innovation, productivity and a dynamic management to succeed today.

Expansions continue and with focus on growth, innovation and commitment to our customers, the Port of Salalah is prepared for the future.
