Meanwhile, Nasser Al Hadhrami, Sustainability Specialist at Asyad Shipping, emphasized the importance of stakeholder collaboration to enhance sustainability standards and prepare the sector for lower-carbon transition requirements.
In collaboration with Muscat University, Asyad Group also launched a white paper titled “Towards a Low-Emission Future for Oman’s Transport Sector: Green Mobility through Hydrogen and EV Integration.” This paper offers a practical framework for reducing emissions across road, rail, maritime, and aviation transport, while supporting the competitiveness of Oman’s logistics sector and aligning with global shifts towards sustainable energy and transport.
Essam Al Sheibany stated, “Asyad adopts an approach centered on transforming sustainability ambitions into practical applications that contribute to improving operational efficiency and accelerating decarbonization efforts, thereby strengthening the logistics sector’s competitiveness and supporting Oman’s long-term objectives.”
SOHAR Port and Freezone, a vital part of Oman’s integrated logistics infrastructure, released its first Sustainability Report detailing progress in emissions management, climate resilience, energy efficiency, and ESG governance. The report also emphasizes the port’s initiatives to advance clean energy readiness through investments in green hydrogen and lower-emission infrastructure.
