MUSCAT: The Public Authority for Special Economic Zones and Free Zones (OPAZ) has issued a tender for infrastructure upgrades at the Duqm fishing fort, funded by the Saudi Development Fund.
The project will include roads, lighting, drainage, sewage, water, firefighting, and communication networks.
OPAZ is inviting bids from Omani and Saudi consortiums, with submissions due by November 18 via the "Esnad" platform. The port, covering 7.5 sq km, has six floating berths, a 1.3-km fixed quay, and a dedicated Coast Guard berth. The expansion aligns with plans to support fisheries and green energy initiatives, boosting Duqm’s strategic position for food and renewable industries.
The port is operated by Duqm Port Investment Company, a coalition involving Oman’s Investment Authority (OIA), Asyad Ports, Al Wusta Fisheries, Oman Food Investment Holding, and France’s Lorient Port Company.
