Asyad Line Expands Direct Oman–South Asia Container Express Linking Sohar Port Directly with Port Qasim
By operating a point-to-point rotation between Sohar’s deepwater quays and the commercial container terminals of Port Qasim, the direct short-sea connection delivers an open-water sailing transit of under 50 hours between pilot stations. The rotation addresses growing volume demand across chemical, agricultural, and mineral manufacturing corridors in Oman and Pakistan, providing enterprise cargo owners and freight forwarders with reliable slot allocations that bypass intermediate transshipment delays and recurring container bunching at legacy upper-Gulf hubs.
