Rail link Sohar – Abu Dhabi getting closer
Oman Rail and Etihad Rail have signed an agreement to jointly establish the equally-owned Oman-Etihad Rail Company. It will hold an overall investment power of USD 3 billion to design, develop and operate a railway network connecting Sohar Port to the UAE national rail network.
The much-anticipated 303-km railway will primarily link Sohar to Abu Dhabi. Employing cutting-edge transport and rail technology, the railway network between the Sultanate of Oman and the UAE will, inter alia, improve the efficiency of supply chains, facilitate cross-border trade by linking commercial ports to the railway network, boost market competitiveness and reduce the total cost of supply chains, the two partners said.
