Oman was named project management consultant for the Oomco project in May 2018.
Muscat Securities
Market-listed Oman Oil Marketing Company (Oomco) announced that it had received
board approval for the construction of a 30,000m3 bunker terminal at the
sultanate's Port of Duqm (pictured), with the project due to complete in 2021.
In a stock market filing on 13
May, the company said the board had also approved necessary ancillary equipment
and facilities required for the terminal.
Oomco said in its missive:
“This bunker terminal will supply marine fuels of required grades to ships in
and around the port. “As such, our bunker terminal
will serve to enhance the portfolio of services available to attract ships to
Duqm and thus contribute to the port’s growth and business development.”
In May 2018, Oomco appointed
Australian engineering firm Worley Parsons’ Omani subsidiary, Worley Parsons
Engineering Oman, as the project management consultant for the terminal.
Oomco's chief executive
officer, David Khalife, said at the time that the terminal would drive growth
for the Port of Duqm, located on the sultanate’s Al Wusta coast.
