direct shipping links on way
A
Swedish-based shipping line will launch direct services
between Muscat and the Iraqi port of Umm Qasr soon. The
multipurpose liner service will be operated by Gulf Conro
Line, which is extending its current service between Jebel
Ali/Dubai and Umm Qasr to include Muscat for the first time.
"We believe the service will be of great assistance to
local Omani traders who have been shipping their goods to
Dubai for onward delivery to Iraq, at considerable additional
cost and time," Shipping Division officials said.
