Port of Salalah has inked a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with SASCO International for Logistics Services for the development of complete logistics solution to enhance bilateral trade with Yemen through Mazyunah.

A major company in Yemen, SASCO group, has opened an office in Salalah to provide logistics solutions for the expanding trade to and from Yemen through Salalah.

It has also broken ground for a dry port in Mazyunah Free Zone, which has drawn strong interest from a diverse group of investors.

The MOU with Port of Salalah aims to leverage the network connectivity, transit time advantages available at Salalah and the expertise of SASCO to provide a compelling value proposition to the Yemeni trade.

The MoU that lays out the framework of cooperation was inked by David Gledhill (CEO) of Salalah Port Services Co. and Mohammed Thabit, the chief executive officer of SASCO International for Logistics Services.

CEO of Port of Salalah, David Gledhill, said, 'Yemen is a strategic hinterland for Port of Salalah. We believe that the proximity and excellent connectivity combined with the dry port in Mazyunah can provide a very cost effective and efficient logistics chain for the trade to Yemen. Such cooperation will facilitate anchoring a wider customer base in Salalah and provide new business opportunities for local businesses. We continue to engage all the stakeholders to ensure a smooth supply chain for the Yemeni customers via Salalah.'
