Port of Duqm plans to start export of minerals by February 2016. The port has already set up facilities for an ´ÿearly operation´ of its break bulk terminal for exporting 50,000 tonne of dolomite as the first shipment from the port. The terminal has a capacity to handle 5 mn tonne in the first phase, which can be scaled up substantially in the future. The port is working with Oman Railways to substantially enhance mineral exports by transporting products from far off places and storing it near the port. CONTACT: PORT OF DUQM. TEL: +968-24-342-800.
