INDUSTRIAL WATERFRONT TO WORLD-CLASS DESTINATION: THE CHULA VISTA BAYFRONT AT PORT OF SAN DIEGO

The Port of Duqm is set to undergo a significant expansion, with Investcorp Aberdeen Infrastructure Partners leading a
$550 million project. This investment aims to enhance the port's capacity and support an industrial area within the Duqm Special
Economic Zone. The project will involve marine infrastructure development, dredging, and the construction of a new quay wall,
which will service a low-carbon industrial plant. This facility is expected to produce low CO₂ iron metallics and eventually hydrogen-
powered "green steel," aligning with Oman's net-zero ambitions. The initiative is part of Oman's Vision 2040 and the country's
commitment to sustainable infrastructure development. The port's expansion is expected to catalyze industrial growth in Duqm and
position the Sultanate of Oman as a regional leader in sustainable logistics and green industry.
