Al Duqm Port & Drydock has become one of the major ports in the region thanks to its strategic location on the Arabian Sea between the Muscat port and the Salalah port. The port is also equipped with a ship repair yard and drydock facility, the first of its kind in Oman.
 
The $2.6 billion Duqm Port started operation by mid-2012. It is equipped with a more than 3,000-metre-long berth.
