The arrival of Asyad Shipping owned container vessel, at the port of Sohar, located on the north-eastern coast of Oman, midway between Muscat and Dubai and a member of Asyad Group, is the first of a new direct twice monthly Asyad Line service connecting Singapore and Malaysia with Oman, broadening ASYAD’s support for key trade routes used by exporters, importers, freight forwarders and other ASYAD trade partners.
The new service connects the direct container lines between Singapore and the wider Gulf region, and is the first to directly connect Singapore and Malaysia with Oman. It will greatly reduce journey times and offer competitive transhipment rates through the port of Sohar, in Oman, which already provides direct services to China, South Korea, Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan and the wider Gulf region, affording southeast Asian partners swift and easy access to new markets in the Gulf, the Middle East and East Africa.
