Maersk says Oman’s Port of Salalah to gradually resume operations on March 31
Shipping giant says some operational constraints may remain as port works to restore full capacity after security incident
ISTANBUL
Danish shipping giant Maersk said Monday that Oman’s Port of Salalah will gradually resume operations as of March 31 following a security incident that disrupted activities at the facility.
In a customer advisory, Maersk said the affected area at the port remained limited and that steps would be taken to restore the port to full capacity as operations restart.
The company, however, warned that some operational constraints could continue for a period during the recovery process.
Maersk also said additional precautionary security measures had been implemented at the port and that it remained in contact with relevant authorities and port stakeholders.
The company thanked customers for their understanding and said it would continue to provide updates on developments in the Middle East through its dedicated information page.
Oman News Agency, citing a security source, said on March 28 that two drones targeted Salalah Port, injuring one worker and causing limited damage to a crane.
