Port of Salalah collaborates closely with the exporters on improving and adding to its portfolio of services. In addition to the deepwater berths of up to 18m of depth that can receive cape-size vessels thereby giving its customers increased flexibility, Port of Salalah has also been investing in new equipment and resources to improve productivity and reliability.
