Yes, you read that correctly, Oman is re-starting its ‘rail engine’ and issuing new rail tenders as part of their national rail project; linking all three major ports in the country: Salalah, Sohar and Duqm.
The last 18 months have witnessed a slowdown in rail projects across the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council), partly due to oil price and national project reforms. It hasn’t particularly been a flourishing period for rail projects, but this latest news signifies the upturn in the regional market as we step into 2017.
This can only be seen as big step forward, especially for international companies still looking to win their first regional project. In line with the positive shift across the regional market, we have decided to publish our in-depth market report, detailing all project updates covered at the Middle East Rail show, please click here to download the report.
As part of Oman Rail’s announcement, they would like companies from the following services to apply:
Operation
Maintenance
Infrastructure
Rolling stock management
Railway facilities
Mass transit system
Auxiliary services i.e. transportation logistics to ports and mines.
Does your company supply any of these required solutions? If so, if you want to stand any chance in securing more projects like Oman Rail’s, you must sponsor or exhibit at Middle East Rail 2017.
