The Omani logistics group is organizing the forum with the Foreign Ministry of Oman, the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology, and Oman Investment Authority.\n\n## Asyad's Forum Partners and Agenda\n\nAsyad Group said the partnership reflects a coordinated national effort to strengthen Oman's role in international discussions on the future of trade and global maritime routes. The forum will bring together senior executives, academics and maritime experts from major companies and international institutions. Participants will examine the shared challenges facing the global maritime system and explore practical solutions that make its networks more resilient and better connected in support of international trade.\n\nThe forum will examine how resilient, interconnected maritime networks support supply chains, businesses, markets and economies. Building that resilience requires operational know-how and cooperation across shipping, ports, logistics, technology, insurance and the markets tied to global trade. Private sector leaders will steer the sessions, drawing on real operational and commercial challenges to identify practical approaches that translate shared experience into clear next steps.\n\nEng. Abdulrahman Al Hatmi, Group Chief Executive Officer of Asyad Group, said: \"Global trade is only as resilient as the maritime networks that sustain it. Those networks must keep markets connected while adapting to the disruptions and evolving conditions that shape the movement of goods and the continuity of supply chains.\"\n\n## Asyad's Scale Behind the Muscat Forum\n\nAsyad Group is Oman's state-owned integrated logistics provider operating ports, maritime, free zones, freight forwarding, warehousing, and rail across 24 countries and 76 cities, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). The same records show the group serves over 6,000 global clients in shipping, manufacturing, retail, and energy sectors, and operates a maritime fleet exceeding 100 vessels with services extending to more than 90 destinations globally.\n\n## Asyad's Recent Logistics Agreements\n\nAsyad Group signed three agreements at the Gulf Green Mobility Forum in Salalah in September 2026 covering autonomous freight transport, green hydrogen mobility, and onshore power supply for vessels, the Oman Observer reported. In July 2026, Asyad Container Terminal in Duqm received the CMA CGM Vasco da Gama, one of the world's largest container ships, for its maiden call at the facility, the Oman Observer reported. Asyad Group and CMA CGM Group signed a Framework Agreement in June 2026 to develop, manage, and operate a $400 million multipurpose logistics terminal in Sohar, Oman, the Oman Observer reported.\n\n## What the Muscat Framework Comes Next\n\nInsights and recommendations from the forum will inform the development of the Muscat Maritime Resilience Framework, Asyad Group said. Participants will consider planned mechanisms to strengthen maritime networks and deepen international cooperation to protect the flow of global trade.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
