Sharjah launches Oman logistics corridor through land border crossings

The Sharjah Ports, Customs and Free Zones Authority has launched an integrated logistics corridor connecting the emirate with ports in Oman through land border crossings to strengthen regional trade connectivity and supply chain resilience.

Developed in coordination with Oman Customs, the corridor links Sharjah with Sohar Port, Duqm Port and Salalah Port, with Sohar positioned as the primary gateway because of its proximity to the UAE.

The project is designed to improve cargo movement efficiency, expand logistics options for businesses and support sustainable regional supply chains.

The Sharjah authority said the corridor forms part of Sharjah’s broader logistics ecosystem, which integrates maritime infrastructure across the emirate’s eastern and western coasts.

Khorfakkan Port remains a central component of that system as a regional maritime hub handling cargo and container operations.

Live operations began on May 14 after technical and coordination procedures were completed, according to the authority.

The first shipments were dispatched from Port Khalid to Sohar Port through the Khatmat Malaha border crossing in Kalba, marking the operational launch of the corridor. Cargo movement in both directions has also started, the authority said.
