Affirming its status as MENA’s fourth-largest logistics powerhouse, Asyad Group presents an extensive portfolio, comprising operations in the US, China, Singapore, India, and the GCC, including offices in Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam.
The event will highlight the collective capabilities of Asyad Group, including Ports of Sohar, Salalah, and Duqm, Asyad Shipping, Asyad Drydock, and Asyad Logistics, under a unified platform.
Asyad Group, Oman’s global integrated logistics provider, takes center stage at the Saudi Maritime & Logistics Congress 2024 that will be held in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, on the 18th and 19th of September. While the GCC solidifies its status as a critical regional powerhouse and hub in global logistics, Asyad Group is poised to showcase its world class assets, strategically located ports, and cutting-edge integrated global logistics through its unparalleled multimodal solutions and a network of active operations in key trade hubs like China, India, the USA, and the GCC, including Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam.
A diverse portfolio that includes three deep seaports, three free zones, an economic zone, and a dry port, combined with its integrated logistics that comprise shipping, freight forwarding, transportation and warehousing services, and a state-of-the-art fulfillment center supported by last-mile delivery service, positions Asyad as a trusted partner for businesses seeking efficient and reliable transportation and supply chain solutions.
“This Congress is more than an event; it serves as a vital nexus where decision-makers, innovators, and stakeholders in the logistics and maritime sectors converge to explore new frontiers and shape the future of global trade. With the GCC accounting for 30% of the world’s container traffic, the region plays a critical role in steering the intricacies of today’s logistics landscape. Asyad Group’s participation highlights our dedication to advancing innovation, building strategic alliances, and fostering sustainable growth within the sector,” said Ahmed Al Bulushi, Chief Executive Asset Management.
During the congress, Essam AL Sheibany, VP Sustainability at Asyad Group, will take part as a distinguished panelist in a session titled “Energy Transition for a Sustainable Future” and will discuss the advancement of eco-friendly initiatives in the logistics sector, setting new standards for sustainable maritime practice, and the use of alternative fuels in the region.
