We are happy to conclude this agreement with DB Schenker and provide them with our differentiated client-centric storage solutions and support that attract big clients looking for a new logistics base.”

Speaking on behalf of DB Schenker in Oman (formally known as Schenker Khimji’s LLC), Richard van Schie, Managing Director, said, “we believe this service agreement will help form synergies for our customers’ trade and related activity in and out of Oman. We are delighted to have access to Khazaen Dry Port’s successful setup of facilities and services while leveraging Oman’s strategic location that provides a gateway to regional and global markets.”
