Muscat: A new shipping line is set to connect Shinas Port with Bandar Abbas Port in Iran, the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology (MTCIT) announced on Wednesday.
This step comes as part of the joint efforts of the Ministry and its partners to activate and maximize revenues from ports and to complement the efforts made to develop Shinas Port.
According to the ministry, the launch of the new shipping line is based on the partnership agreement signed between QSS Maritime (the operator and developer of Shinas Port) and World Modern Lights Company, which includes launching the shipping line and rehabilitating and operating a new passenger lounge to provide a comfortable and smooth experience for travelers, while providing modern facilities and services.
The shipping line will help enhance and activate tourism and trade exchange between the Sultanate of Oman and the Islamic Republic of Iran. It will also reflect the commitment of the Shinas Port operator to develop, rehabilitate, and activate the port's infrastructure.
