Port of Salalah reports 17% surge in general cargo

24/02/2026 06:24 AST

Port of Salalah, Oman's principal logistics hub on the Indian Ocean, reported a 17% surge in general cargo handled to a record 26.4 million tonnes in 2025, compared to 22.6 million tonnes in 2024.

The growth was driven by rising exports of industrial minerals, notably gypsum and limestone, said a report in WAM news agency.

The volumes are projected to climb further in 2026 on the back of multiple throughput-enhancement initiatives, said Braik bin Musallam al Amri, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Salalah Port Services Co SAOG.

"Against all challenges, the General Cargo Terminal achieved a record volume of 26.4 million metric tonnes", Al Amri said in the company's 2025 Annual Report.

"The growth was driven mainly by dry bulk - gypsum and limestone - where demand remains firmly on an upward trajectory," he said as quoted by Oman Observer.

On the container side, the port handled 4.3 million TEUs in 2025, up from approximately 3.3 million TEUs in 2024. This increase was supported by the launch of the Gemini Cooperation between Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd, positioning Salalah as a key global hub within the network.

The port also posted strong financial results in 2025, with consolidated revenue rising 28% year-on-year to RO89.4 million ($232.67 million). EBITDA climbed to RO27.8 million, lifting the margin to 31% from 22% in 2024, while net profit increased to RO7.3 million compared with RO2.3 million a year earlier.
