Port of Duqm welcomes UK’s HMS Albion
Duqm port is capable of handling anything,
even some of the world’s largest sea-vessels.
This came after HMS Albion,
one of the UK Navy’s two “giant” amphibious assault ships, arrived in Port
Duqm. A Ministry of Transport and Communication statement said that the
vessel’s arrival in Port Duqm “confirms the port’s capability to receive the largest
vessels”.
A statement by the Royal Navy
last week read, “Britain’s flagship HMS Albion has arrived in Oman ready to
lead the naval element of the largest combined military exercise for UK forces
since 2002.”
