Oman International Container Terminal (OICT) operated by Hutchison Port Holdings (HPH), is to quadruple capacity to 6 million teu, HPH officials told a logistics conference in Muscat in April. HPH group managing director Eric Ip told the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Supply Chain and Logistics conference in Sonar that the company would fast-track development at Terminal C, and add Terminal D in order to increase OICT's annual handling capacity. He said construction of Terminal D could start as early as 2018-19. "We are committed to Sohar Port and to the Sultanate of Oman. We will continue the development of facilities at the port to capture growing trade activities in the Middle East and the potential to serve the latest class of 20,000 teu mega-vessels. We are building for the future," he said.
