Qatar-based GWC subsidiary Flag Logistics is establishing a logistics hub — dubbed Flag Oman — in Khazaen Economic City, according to a statement. The company is set to become the first to move into Khazaen, which will give a boost to strategic links between Oman and the GCC. No details regarding the investment ticket or a timeline for launch were disclosed in the statement.
More details: Flag Oman will establish and operate infrastructure covering a 50k square meter (sqm) site at Khazen, with specialized areas for various logistics services including dry, ambient, chilled and frozen warehousing, bulk storage, records management and marshaling areas. The hub’s warehouse and distribution center will cover a 27.5k sqm area, the statement notes.
Regional links: Flag Oman is poised to be a regional hub connecting Muscat, Doha, Bahrain, Jeddah, Riyadh, and Dubai.
Oman is doubling down on Khazaen: Oman’s Transport Communications and Information Technology Ministry inked an agreement late last year establishing Khazaen Logistics Complex within Khazaen to clear transactions in a bid to facilitate procedures within the economic city. Khazaen Dry Port Company has also established a partnership with French shipping giant CMA CGM to process containers via Khazaen’s ports.
About Flag Logistics: The fully-owned GWC subsidiary operates in Qatar, KSA, UAE, Bahrain, and Oman, with a focus on comprehensive logistics solutions, including 3PL, transportation, customs clearance, and value-added services, the statement said.
